The annual North Devon Manufacturing Awards celebrate the very best in manufacturing talent that exists right here on our doorstep
This year’s event takes place overlooking Bideford Bay and the Atlantic Ocean at The Pier House, Westward Ho! on the evening 15th October. The spectacular event would not be possible without its sponsors, and we are proud to announce that North Devon College is the headline sponsor for the evening, and will be presenting the coveted Manufacturer of the Year trophy to the overall winning business at the end of the night.
Of course, the worthy, main stars of the show are the incredibly diverse and capable manufacturers of Northern Devon, but taking to the stage before the ceremony will be our guest speaker for the evening, Stephen Roberts, CEO of North Devon Hospice.
Stephen will bring together perspectives from business and hospice care to explore what working alongside people at the end of life can teach us about leadership, purpose and what matters most
Following an excellent debut at the 2025 awards, Laura James returns by popular demand. Laura’s inquisitive exuberance brings stories of innovation and achievement to life, guiding us effortlessly through the evening as our compere and master of ceremonies!
The evening will end, as usual, with a charity raffle, with excellent prizes supported by local businesses. This year’s charity will be North Devon Hospice.
