In total, Accu was proud to be shortlisted in three categories:
-
SME of the Year

Business Growth & Strategy

Business Apprentice Rising Star
We’re incredibly proud to have been recognised for our growth and strategy in a region rich in manufacturing innovation. A huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
On top of this, we are absolutely delighted to see our Business Administration Specialist Apprentice, Ben Hawksworth, was shortlisted for the Business Apprentice Rising Star award - a truly fantastic achievement after only just completing his first year with Team Accu.
Our Latest Apprentice - A Rising Star In Business
Building on the recent success of our apprenticeship program, highlighted in particular through Lily’s fantastic Make UK Apprentice Endeavour Award win at last year’s Regional Awards - where she went through to the National Awards - it’s incredibly inspiring to see Ben also making waves in the industry.
Ben commented:
"The Make UK Regional Manufacturing Awards were my first ever awards event. I thought that it was a really well organised networking opportunity, which presented a great experience for me to learn and develop skills to take forward in my career. The event also gave me a good understanding of the inner workings of manufacturing businesses and the level of communication needed to strive within this industry."

Business Administration Specialist Apprentice
Ben’s manager, Rachael Davidson, was full of praise and positive feedback following his award nomination:
“I couldn’t be prouder to see Ben shortlisted for the Make UK Business Apprentice Rising Star award. Throughout his apprenticeship, Ben has consistently demonstrated not just an exceptional grasp of the technical skills required, but also a deep understanding of the broader business environment. He has a proactive attitude, willingness to learn, and the ability to take on challenges head-on.
One of the qualities I admire most in Ben is his adaptability. Whether it’s contributing ideas to improve processes, collaborating across teams, or going the extra mile to support colleagues, he has proven himself to be an invaluable asset to our team. His enthusiasm for the industry, coupled with his determination to grow, has made him a rising star in every sense.
This nomination is a reflection of his hard work, dedication, and the bright future he has ahead of him. I have no doubt that Ben will continue to excel and make significant contributions to Accu.”
