AWARDS & NETWORKING EVENING

AWARDS PRESENTATION

Open to all (not just exhibitors) the Torque-Expo Awards will single out accomplishments, innovative products and tap into the sustainability trend – celebrating products which have been developed with an eye on their environmental impact. Sticking with that theme, there’s also an award for ‘Sustainability Initiative of the Year’, highlighting businesses that have endeavoured to reduce their carbon footprint.

We’re also keen to highlight altruistic efforts from fastener, tool and related businesses. Companies have typically worked harder since the pandemic to look after their employees, whether keeping employees working at home engaged, protecting them from the spread of Covid at work or even simply rewarding efforts during those difficult times. And those companies that reach out to the local community and support them also have chance to share their stories through the Torque-Expo Awards.

The Awards will also shine the spotlight on individuals, from apprentices who’ve impressed to those who have had a substantial impact on the sector, in our ‘Outstanding Industry Achievement Award’.

NETWORKING

Social occasions have been thin on the ground in recent years and chance to network with industry peers, potential customers and partners of tomorrow have been similarly rarer than hen’s teeth. So Torque-Expo’s networking opportunities have been revamped and simplified for this 2022 edition of the show.

The Gala Dinner has made way for the Networking Evening, sponsored by Optimas, comprising live music, buffet food, presentation of the Torque-Expo Awards and ample opportunities for a natter. So, there is less emphasis on sitting down to a long-winded dinner and more prominence on grabbing a bite to eat and drink while moving around the room to renew or forge business relationships. The Torque-Expo Awards will provide a talking point and chance for exhibitors and non-exhibitors alike to be singled out for their achievements, as well as celebrating the industry generally.
