The 2007 Best Factory Awards celebration event will take place on Friday 21st September at the London Hilton, Park Lane, London.

Once again, the best in UK manufacturing will gather to find out - only as the envelopes are opened - just who has won what award. In every category, companies that were shortlisted, and subsequently passed the judging day, only find out if they are highly commended, or if they have won an award at the moment that the sponsor representative steps up onto the stage to present the trophy. The room is prepared for the cacophony as the wining factory's employees celebrate each win.

The categories are again this year:

Judges Special Award
Best Small Company Award
Innovation Award
Most Improved Plant Award
People Management Award
Supply Chain Award
Health, Safety and Environment Award

Then there are the four sector categories:

Engineering Plant Award
Process Plant Award
Electronics and Electrical Plant Award
Household and General Products Plant Award

And from these four winners, the overall winner is chosen:

Factory of the Year Award
