Acres Wins the Manufacturing Impact Award at the Make UK National Awards 2025

This recognition means a huge amount to us. To be judged alongside such outstanding organisations and to come away with this award is a real testament to our people, our culture, and the values we stand for every day.

A sincere congratulations to all of the other finalists in our category. The work being done across UK manufacturing is exceptional, and it’s genuinely an honour to be part of such a strong field. The standard was incredibly high, and every finalist should be immensely proud of the impact they’re making.

Most importantly, thank you to the entire Acres Team — this award belongs to you. And thank you to our clients and partners for trusting us and supporting our journey.

Here is what the judges said and the citation which was read out on the night:

“This company was passionate about their obligation and power to influence. Their wealth of examples of how to go beyond manufacturing to engage and improve the community was impressive. Their work with children, adults and organisations in general shone through and the judges commented that they set the benchmark for us all to aspire to. They are a small family business punching well above their weight, with established values communicated and practiced throughout every aspect of the business.”

Made in Derbyshire, delivered around the world. We might be an SME but we are mighty!
