The Pump Industry Awards finalists for 2025 showcase the best in innovation, performance, and contribution across the pump sector. The winners will be celebrated at the gala dinner on Thursday, 13 March, at the Hilton Hotel, St. Georges Park in Burton on Trent.
The finalists for the 2025 Pump Industry Awards will find out if they have succeeded just days after this issue of Flow magazine is published.
To help deliver the 25th anniversary of this key industry awards ceremony, the evening will feature Perry McCarthy, ex-Formula 1 driver and the original secret racing driver from BBC1’s Top Gear, The Stig. With over 1,500 speaking appearances to date, Perry combines his famous sense of humour with experiences of rising to the top of motorsport against the odds to entertain audiences the world over with hilarious after-dinner speeches.
The award categories for this year’s event have seen some changes as the organisers work to ensure the awards remain current and relevant. One of these changes sees the introduction of the Award for Sustainable Contribution to a Better World. This category will recognise a business, operation, or project that has made a significant contribution to improved sustainability and helping to create a better world. Those in attendance at the sold-out event will discover who the winner of this new category is and hear of all the other great achievements.
The Distributor of the Year category has been split into two turnover bands, under and over £3m, to ensure the contribution of distributors of all sizes can be acknowledged.
