ECI Software Solutions, a leader in cloud-based business management solutions, has partnered with Make UK, the membership body for the UK’s engineering and manufacturing sector.
As part of the partnership, ECI will sponsor the ‘Innovation’ category at Make UK’s prestigious Manufacturing Awards 2025. The awards celebrate professional achievements of both apprentices and businesses across the UK, with regional winners going on to be judged nationally and announced at a Gala Dinner in January 2026.
ECI works with more than 2,600 small and medium-sized manufacturers across Europe, and its Ridder iQ cloud-based ERP solution is designed specifically for production and engineering companies. Ridder iQ helps manufacturers streamline operations, improve productivity, and drive growth through digital transformation – empowering businesses to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
Shane Taylor, Sales Manager, Ridder iQ, Manufacturing UK & IRE said:
“We’re really excited to be partnering with Make UK ahead of the 2025 Manufacturing Awards. Year in, year out these awards showcase the brightest and best across the UK manufacturing sector and myself and the team are very much looking forward to attending the regional dinners, meeting the award nominees and hearing more about the fantastic innovation that’s taking place.”
Carolee Summers-Sparks, national partnerships director, Make UK added:
“We’re delighted to have such a best-in-class partner such as ECI involved in our awards, especially the innovation category.
