The Made in Yorkshire Awards 2026 brought together some of the region’s most innovative and successful manufacturers to celebrate excellence across the sector. Held at the Royal Armouries Museum and organised by Insider Media, the event recognised businesses driving growth, innovation and investment across Yorkshire’s manufacturing industry. Elevation Recruitment Group was proud to attend and sponsor the evening, celebrating alongside clients, partners and some of the region’s leading manufacturing organisations.
Elevation was proud to support the event as bar sponsor, with our banners displayed throughout the venue as guests celebrated the success of Yorkshire’s manufacturing sector.
Events such as the Made in Yorkshire Awards highlight the region’s reputation as one of the UK’s strongest hubs for engineering, manufacturing innovation and industrial leadership. The evening brought together industry leaders, manufacturing businesses and sector partners to recognise companies making a significant impact on the regional economy.
A highlight of the evening for the Elevation team was presenting the Manufacturer Over £10m category. The award was presented by our very own Carl Walker, with Woodlands Home & Garden Group announced as the winner in recognition of their impressive growth and contribution to the sector.
Carl Walker commented:
“I was delighted to present the Manufacturer of the Year award for businesses over £10m turnover. The calibre of companies shortlisted was exceptional and reflects the strength of manufacturing across Yorkshire. Congratulations to Woodlands Home & Garden Group on a brilliant achievement and to all the finalists recognised at the awards.”
We were also pleased to host several clients at the awards. The evening provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate success across the industry, strengthen relationships and spend time with the people who make Yorkshire’s manufacturing community so strong.
John Bohan added:
“It was a brilliant evening and a privilege to sponsor and attend the Made in Yorkshire Awards. The room was full of incredible businesses and individuals who represent the very best of manufacturing in our region. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. Yorkshire continues to set the standard for innovation, engineering talent and industrial leadership.”
A big thank you to Insider Media for organising such a fantastic event. We’re already looking forward to the Made in Sheffield Awards, which promise to be another major celebration of the region’s manufacturing excellence.
