BASA, the adhesives and sealants association for the UK & Ireland, is excited to announce that the second BASA Awards night will be taking place on Thursday 6th November 2025 at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham.
Building from a successful first year which over 100 delegates attended, the gala evening returns for an unmissable celebration of the best of the UK & Ireland’s adhesives and sealants industry. The ceremony includes a three-course meal, hosted by television-famous stand-up comedian Jimmy McGhie. Entertainment continues with a live band, magician and disco.
BASA Awards offers the opportunity for companies to demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership across eight prestigious categories. Plus, it raises funds for the Chair’s annually nominated charity.
Entries are now open – the final deadline is 25th July 2025. The judges will consist of well-respected, senior industry professionals.
Seven categories are directly open for BASA members to apply: Community Engagement; Best Sustainability Initiative – sponsor pending; Innovation – sponsored by Azelis UK Ltd; Future Leader; Apprentice of the Year; Excellence in Training & Development – sponsored by F. Ball and Co. Ltd.
The final category, Manufacturer of the Year, is offered by invitation only to applicants who have demonstrated outstanding performance in at least two categories with demonstrable commitment to sustainable growth of business.
Lorna Williams, CEO of BASA, commented: “I am incredibly proud that BASA Awards can recognise the hard work and exceptional output from our industry. It offers the opportunity for companies in our sector to elevate their profile, align their brand with excellence, and give back to the industry that has given us so much. It was wonderful to see so many members and guests in attendance last year and I am glad to see the continuing support for the Awards evening into 2025. Best of luck to all this year’s entrants!”
