Digital Planning has reached the national final of Insider’s Made In The UK Awards.
The Loughborough-based AI, digital automation, and cybersecurity specialist has been listed in the Digital Technology category of the annual event.
It comes after Digital Planning won the Midlands regional prize in the same category earlier this year.
The award recognises innovative products, ideas, and achievements from dynamic manufacturers.
Regional judges said of Digital Planning’s winning nomination: “This is a truly entrepreneurial business, which has gone from a £2,000 start-up loan to a £1.6m turnover by bringing the benefits of AI to manufacturing.
“A high risk, high-tech move which is paying digital dividends.”
National technology awards
The Made In The UK Awards brings together the winners of Insider’s regional Made in Awards in a celebration of all that’s great about manufacturing.
The event, one of the largest national manufacturing awards dinners in the UK, is attended by representatives from the UK’s most innovative and successful manufacturers.
The UK awards are supported by national brands including MHA and Lloyds. The winner will be announced during a black tie dinner at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool on
Digital Planning co-founder and director, Mark Underwood, said:
Winning the Midlands award was a great moment in our development to date and the judges were very kind in their comments about the value we provide in the digital space.
It will be great to tell our story on a national stage – and we are also really looking forward to contributing to the industry round table ahead of the awards too.
Digital Planning’s directors will join leading manufacturers from across the UK in Liverpool on 19 June for in-depth discussions around issues and opportunities facing the sector.
The round table will consider how new technologies and methods of automation continue to reshape modern manufacturing – as well as the clear benefits to those who are taking advantage.
As well as considering how new advancements are driving growth and innovation, panellists will consider the challenges faced by manufacturers and how panel members are utilising these new technologies.
