On 6th November 2024, Made in Britain held the 2024 Made in Britain Impact Awards.
Made in Britain is a not-for-profit established in 2013 to form a community for British manufacturing. Through trademark security and successful collaborations with UK trade bodies and government departments, Made in Britain has promoted high-quality employment, responsible business and sustainable growth. Made in Britain encourages Environmental and Social Value (ESV) practices, and now offers an ESV assessment to its members. Made in Britain is committed to community development and sustainable futures, two goals Esharelife has been working towards within vulnerable communities both nationally and internationally.
The Impact Awards were established to recognise the success of Made in Britain’s members. This year’s guest speakers were both inspiring supporters of British industry: Guy Clapperton and George Middleton. Guy Clapperton has been a technology journalist for over thirty years as a regular contributor to national news regarding business and technology reports. Mr Clapperton also runs a successful podcast and authored an Amazon top ten seller book, ‘This is Social Media’ (2009). George Middleton is the current director of MAP UK, working with not-for-profits and governments to encourage growth, internationalisation and sustainability.
Esharelife Foundation’s Chairman, Prof Maurizio Bragagni OBE, was a member of the Judges’s Panel as the winner of the 2023 Leader of the Year Award for his strong leadership and advocacy for sustainable business practices in the manufacturing sector.
As the CEO of Tratos Ltd his inspiring leadership and commitment to international development is unquestionable.
