The winners of the 2024 British Adhesives and Sealants Association (BASA) Awards were revealed on 22nd November at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham. Over 100 delegates gathered to celebrate the industry’s outstanding achievements and our first ever Awards night.

BASA would like to thank all our members that entered an award, attended the event, and contributed to making the night a resounding success. We would like to especially thank our award sponsors – Azelis UK Ltd, F. Ball & Co. Ltd, Rakem Ltd, Wacker, Synthomer plc, and FEICA – for their invaluable support. 

BASA CEO, Lorna Williams, commented: "It was wonderful to see so many members and guests in attendance for our inaugural awards nights. The talent in our sector is truly inspiring. Congratulations to all the shortlisted nominees, and a special well done to the winners!" 

Our chosen charity for the event was In2scienceUK, we managed to raise just over £600, thanks to the generosity and support of our attendees. The charity was chosen by the BASA Chair Carol Merrin from Azelis UK Ltd, who was inspired to select a theme of inclusion and engagement for this event.
