Last Thursday, Sertec’s CEO Grant Adams was recognised at the inaugural GREAT100 Awards, held in Westminster—a celebration of individuals who are shaping the future of British manufacturing. This prestigious recognition highlights leaders who demonstrate resilience, innovation, and a commitment to building a stronger industrial future for Britain.

The event was more than an awards ceremony—it was an opportunity to celebrate, connect, and look ahead to the future of UK manufacturing. With Jason Pitt, CEO of Made in Group, emphasising the importance of an industrial strategy that supports the SME backbone of Britain, the evening reinforced the critical role smaller and mid-sized businesses play in driving growth and innovation.

Grant’s inclusion in this elite group reflects his decades-long dedication to advancing manufacturing, championing electrification, and fostering a people-first culture at Sertec. Under his leadership, Sertec has navigated one of the most transformative periods in its history, investing in EV technology, digital innovation, and skills development to ensure the business remains competitive and future-ready.

Speaking about the recognition, Grant said:
“It’s humbling to be acknowledged personally for this prestigious award, but it’s really testament to the Sertec team we have built. Everything we’ve achieved has been through the dedication, creativity, and resilience of our people.”

As Grant prepares to transition into the role of Chairman in January, this recognition marks a fitting tribute to his impact and legacy at Sertec. With Ben Higgins stepping into the CEO role, Sertec is poised to continue its journey of growth, sustainability, and technological advancement.
