The awards recognise high growth and innovation amongst manufacturing firms in the region.

Addressing members of Made in the Midlands, Lord Digby Jones said, "You are the most important people in Britain, you are part of the wealth creation ……we live in a globalised economy and we need to make the most of it and sell 'Brand Britain' which is referred all over the world." Proving that industry is still investing and showing confidence, hundreds of manufacturing companies came to celebrate the best of Midlands manufacturing.
