The news follows the revelation of the high-level judging panel for the event, which includes Rachel Eade from MAS Auto, Julian Westfield from Westfield Sportscars, Peter Stojic from Coventry University, Stuart Hilton from MAS East Midlands and Dani Saveker, former owner of Savekers.
The Made in the Midlands Awards are Midlands Business Insider magazine's celebration of manufacturers and manufacturing in the region.
Insider already runs hugely successful and well established events such as the Dealmakers Awards and the Midlands Property Awards. Made in the Midlands is a major new awards-based initiative for 2011.
The award winners will be chosen by a panel of industrialists and experts who can give a clear view on what is really important for the Midlands. The awards will be presented at a dinner at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, on the evening of 1 November 2011.
The evening will also offer manufacturers the opportunity to meet together and as always with events like this, to make new contacts and to gain valuable insight from talking to others in the same industry.
A group of senior business ambassadors are supporting the awards - including Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya, founder and director of WMG (Warwick manufacturing Group) and Stewart Towe CBE, group managing director of Hadley Industries.
