Once again Insider has teamed up with CDEMN, the organisation behind Emcon (formerly known as Durham Oktoberfest). Emcon is the North East’s leading engineering and manufacturing exhibition and takes place on the same day as the Made in the North East.
CDEMN will join the judging panel which will also be made up from representatives from EEF, Materials Processing Institute, AMAP (University of Sunderland), Esson Partnership and the NE Automotive Alliance.
The judges will scrutinise all the submissions and determine the shortlists and the winners for each award category.
The shortlists will be announced by Insider in the weeks leading up to the awards dinner, which will be held at the Redworth Hall Hotel, Durham on 18th October 2018, when the winners will be revealed.
