Inaugural winners revealed! T


he atmosphere was electric at Birmingham’s National Conference Centre on Tuesday 25 September, as the very best from across the sector gathered for the


premier edition of the Electronics Industry Awards. Launched earlier this year by Datateam Business Media, in association with CIE Magazine, Electronics Magazine and ecsn, the scheme immediately garnered praise for its unique take on an awards programme, which placed the power in the hands of the very industry that it serves. Speaking ahead of the awards presentation, Amy


Wallington, editor of CIE Magazine, commented on the scheme: “We have often been asked about launching an awards ceremony to celebrate the electronics industry, and we thought this year would be a great time to shine a spotlight on the most outstanding people and products in this sector.”


Following a huge influx of entries, professionals from


across the electronics sector were invited to select the very best products, companies and people in an online vote. The reins were handed over to the evening’s host, critically- acclaimed comedian Sean Collins, to reveal who had received the highest number of votes in each category – and ultimately, who would be among the first inducted into the Electronics Industry Awards’ ‘Hall of Fame’. The night’s presentations began with the ‘product’


awards. The first to be presented, Aerospace/Military/Defence Product of the Year, went to Blakell Europlacer Ltd for the Europlacer Atom 3. Blakell Europlacer Ltd was the only company to take home multiple trophies on the night, later picking up the award for Best Customer Service. Socionext’s integrated Human Machine Interface was next to be honoured, picking up the title of Automotive Product of the Year, before Fujitsu Components Europe was presented with the Display Product of the Year accolade for its Multi light touch series touch panel. Enclosure Product of the Year went to Phoenix Contact Ltd for the ICS (Industrial Case System), Microchip’s MPLAB

Year award for the 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 PSoC 6, before Powerbox International AB was presented with the Power Product of the Year accolade for its Coreless GB350 medical power. The Test, Measurement & Inspection Product of the Year title went to ERS electronic GmbH and MPI Corporation for the AirCool PRIME, and the final product award of the evening – Embedded Solution Product of the Year – was presented to Xilinx for the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC. The focus of the evening then shifted to the company


awards, commencing with the hotly-contested Distributor of the Year accolade, with the industry’s choice being revealed as Farnell element14. M-TEK then picked up the title of Electronics Manufacturer of the Year, Mouser Electronics was presented with the Excellence in Innovation award and the Environmental Leadership accolade was picked up by NCAB Group UK Ltd. RS Components was recognised with the Academic


Support Award, before the penultimate award of the evening – Most Outstanding PR Agency – was presented to Napier Partnership Limited. The awards presentation concluded with the coveted Industry Personality award, which was presented to Debbie Wade of Advanced Rework Technology Ltd. In addition to providing an opportunity to celebrate the


industry’s very best, the ceremony presented guests with an opportunity to give back in the form of a charity fundraiser in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital, a charity nominated by sponsor Analog Devices. Dedicated to giving over 90,000 sick kids the best possible treatment, care and experience during their time in hospital, the charity believes that every child deserves a childhood, and the continuous fundraising from volunteers, supporters, staff and families ensures that Birmingham Children’s Hospital can make this a possibility. On sponsoring the charity fundraiser Jackie Rutter,


director of Marketing EMEA at Analog Devices commented: “As the charity fundraiser sponsor of the Electronics Industry Awards 2018, Analog Devices is delighted that all money raised during the Awards evening will be donated to Birmingham Children’s Hospital (BCH). “As a local resident and parent who has first-hand experience of the life-saving work undertaken by BCH, it’s great to support such a worthwhile local cause.” Throughout the evening guests gave generously with donations amounting to over £588. With the huge success of the inaugural Electronics Industry Awards, its organisers were keen to thank the companies that pledged their support to the scheme: headline sponsor Astute, Analog Devices, BWW Communications, Farnell element14, IntelliConnect, Napier, Mouser Electronics, Socionext, What’s New In Electronics and Electronic Components Supply Network. Next year’s Electronics Industry Awards will be held on Friday 21st June at The Tower Hotel in London.
