On 6th November 2024, the 2024 Made in Britain Impact Awards celebrated achievements in British manufacturing. Made in Britain, a not-for-profit founded in 2013, promotes responsible business and sustainable growth across the UK. Through collaboration with UK trade bodies and government departments, it supports high-quality employment and champions Environmental and Social Value (ESV) practices, offering its members an ESV assessment.
The Impact Awards highlight standout contributions from Made in Britain’s members, recognising excellence in innovation and sustainability. Key speakers this year included technology journalist Guy Clapperton and MAP UK’s George Middleton, both of whom advocate for growth and sustainability in British industries.
Professor Maurizio Bragagni OBE, the esteemed CEO of Tratos Ltd, was honoured to serve as a member of the Judges’ Panel as he was awarded the 2023 Inspiring Leader Award, underscoring his profound impact on both his company and the broader manufacturing sector.
As a visionary in sustainable industrial practices, Prof. Bragagni has long championed environmental responsibility, spearheading initiatives at Tratos Ltd that emphasise eco-friendly manufacturing processes, technological innovation, and corporate social responsibility. His leadership has not only transformed Tratos Ltd into a model of sustainable industrial practices but has also positioned it as a frontrunner in the cable manufacturing industry, committed to reducing environmental impact while fostering high-quality production standards.
Though Prof. Bragagni was unable to attend the award ceremony in person, he conveyed his gratitude to Made in Britain and reaffirmed his dedication to advancing British industry through a heartfelt video message. In his address, he spoke to the enduring values of the British manufacturing sector, expressing optimism about its future and a commitment to continued innovation and sustainable growth. His recognition as an inspiring leader reflects not only his professional achievements but also his deep-rooted commitment to values that resonate with the goals of Made in Britain—supporting homegrown businesses, prioritizing sustainable practices, and fostering a socially responsible business environment.
