Skills Awards 2020

The world is speeding up. For the UK and her industries, there has scarcely been a moment like the one we currently find ourselves in. Comparisons to previous industrial revolutions with their paradigm-shifting advances are apt but inadequate. The interconnectedness of technologies that are the hallmark of the fourth industrial revolution, combined with radical geopolitical realignment, defies all precedent. But in these times of great change and uncertainty lies opportunity. For those clear of purpose and bold of vision, a new world of possibility is visible on the horizon. The future will belong to those who make landfall first.

For nearly three decades, Semta has stood the test of time, ‘closer to industry’. Where others have merely tried to weather the prevailing winds of change, Semta has harnessed them. Who better then to help you plot a course through the uncharted waters ahead? As an organisation, we are always striving to improve our offering to you – most recently by embarking on a digital transformation that aims to use cutting-edge technology to drive us even deeper into the heart of industry. At the centre of the sector and the vanguard of innovation. But, as we, like you, prepare to answer the challenges of tomorrow, it is first vital that we take time to recognise that which has gone before – those exceptional individuals and organisations whose brilliant work has blazed a trail to our bright future. The recognition and celebration of these pioneering spirits, these titans of industry, is the special preserve of the Semta Skills Awards.

The Semta Skills Awards 2020 will see a who’s who of industry leaders and the freshest new talent gather to pay homage to the extraordinary apprentices, champions of skills development, and ingenious engineers tackling society’s biggest challenges. The self-same people who will ensure the future of a sector that is the backbone of the UK economy.

The 2019 Awards were hailed as hugely enjoyable and a great success but, next year, a new benchmark will be set. Preparations are already under way for the most ambitious and awe-inspiring Skills Awards ever. A new venue, new presenter and 6 new awards, combined with drinks, entertainment and extensive peer networking and sponsorship opportunities promise, a night to remember with benefits that last. Taking place on 19 March at London’s exclusive 8 Northumberland Avenue, moments from Trafalgar Square in the heart of the capital, we cordially invite you to be part of the UK’s most prestigious engineering awards ceremony.

Mark history. Make history. Be there at the most prestigious awards in engineering.
