Archies: nominations deadline extended

THE ARCHIES, organised by the UK Material Handling Association (UKMHA), is amongst the most prestigious awards schemes in the sector. Entrants compete to win a coveted Archie statuette, named after Archimedes – the father of engineering.

Businesses now have an extra week to submit entries and compete for a chance to bask in the spotlight at the biggest celebration of excellence in the UK material handling and intralogistics sector.

Finalists and winners of this year’s awards scheme will be announced at a gala awards ceremony on the middle evening (Wednesday 10th September) of IMHX.

Taking place at The Vox Conference Centre, within the NEC complex, the awards will further the UKMHA’s goal of celebrating excellence across the sector.

Award categories

For 2025, the award categories have been chosen to reflect the entire material handling and intralogistics spectrum, with recognition set for individuals, projects and products, along with services and innovation. They reflect the need to attract the best new talent to the industry – a key aim of the UKMHA – as well as the changing nature of the industry with the advances in technology such as automation and AI.
