Award Winners 2025

The Chemical Industry: Built to endure, driven to innovate

On Thursday, 19th June 2025, industry leaders from across the United Kingdom gathered at the Queens Hotel in Leeds to celebrate the very best of the UK’s chemical and pharmaceutical businesses at the Chemical Industries Association’s (CIA) Chemical Industry Awards. This year’s ceremony held particular significance as it marked the CIA’s 60th anniversary.

For six decades, the CIA has represented, advised and supported the UK’s chemical industry, championing its role in driving economic growth, innovation and national resilience. This year’s celebration not only highlighted the extraordinary achievements of today’s businesses and professionals but also reflected on the enduring legacy of an industry that has continued to adapt, evolve and excel for over 150 years.

The 2025 ceremony saw a record number of entries and a sold-out evening, demonstrating the depth of talent across the country. It was also a fitting moment to honour every individual working in and for the industry playing a crucial role in maintaining what is often called the “industry of industries.”

Thank you  to every company and employee who has entered for our awards, to all of our sponsors and to our judges for giving your time and your commitment. This event would not have been possible without you. We also congratulate the year 10 students at Bridgewater High School, Warrington, who have once again designed our Award trophies, sponsored by Solvay.
