2023 AEMT Awards finalists revealed

05 October, 2023

The AEMT says with a record number of submissions across the seven categories, this year’s programme has again produced some truly exceptional entries from right across the electro-mechanical arena.

The Judging Panel was particularly impressed with the collective deliverables presented by this year’s submissions, with the quantifiable results providing a clear demonstration of the fine work the AEMT community is supporting, including:

• The implementation of flood defences to protect the lives of 30 million people living below sea level.

• The regeneration of the drinking water supply of 3 million people across 250 cities.

• A reduction of CO2 emissions by 2,500 tonnes a year across just two projects.

• The use of hydropower to reduce CO2 emissions by 6 million tonnes.

• The irrigation of 3,000 hectares of land helping to yield more profitable farming, and reduce weekly shopping bills.

The Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Coventry will play host to the presentation dinner, at which professional endeavour, product innovation, project management, skills development, engineering prowess and service delivery will all be acknowledged and celebrated.

During the day, this venue will also host the AEMT’s Annual Conference, where industry renowned speakers will share their knowledge and expertise in a series of talks and presentations specifically designed to be of tangible value to all those companies operating within the service, maintenance, and repair sector. Further details can be found on the website - www.aemtconference.com/.

The combination of a professionally produced daytime conference and prestigious evening awards dinner will serve to underpin and promote the skill, effort and sheer dedication of the people and businesses serving this important sector of industry. With support and engagement provided by some of the sector’s leading brands, AEMT members and their customers, can be assured of an informative, enlightening, and entertaining experience.
