The highly-awaited MedilinkWM Medical and
Healthcare Business Awards 2015 took place on
January 14, bringing together business
representatives, clinicians, researchers, and
academics from the region’s medical and healthcare
technology sector to reveal who would be walking
away with our prestigious awards denoting excellence
in a different category each, including Start-Up,
Innovation, Export Achievement, Partnership with the
NHS, and Outstanding Achievement.
Held this year at Malmaison Birmingham, one of
Birmingham’s most luxurious and popular hotels,
situated at the heart of the Mailbox, the annual
Medilink West Midlands Medical and Healthcare
Business Awards provides an excellent opportunity to
bring together leading organisations from across the
sector and celebrate the best achievements across
the West Midlands region as well as give guests a
chance to enjoy a fun evening of networking.
Before a warm welcome and note of thanks was give
by our awards sponsor Ingram Hawkins and Nock,
guests were handed a dubious though as some may
prefer to call ‘excellently innovative’ note each, which
albeit fake and unable to be fixed by our respected

magician proved perfectly exchangeable as chips to be
lost at our casino tables - though recompensed
hopefully by the new connections and contacts gained.
Following on from our networking reception, guests
were seated for dinner before the highly-anticipated
awards ceremony began and the winners finally
revealed to the excellent sound effects of make-shift
drum rolls ... s
As proven by each and every shortlisted organisation,
finalist, winner and indeed the high level of award
entries and submissions themselves, the West
Midlands is home to some of the most innovative and
successful medical and healthcare companies, each
with a great commitment to supporting product and
service development with a view to enrich healthcare in
both the region and beyond.
We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all
of our winners and indeed all of our finalists,
sponsors and guests for their continued help,
participation and support in helping to celebrate the
outstanding achievements in healthcare across the
West Midlands and in making the WM 2015 Medical
& Healthcare Business Awards such a memorable
event.
Our winners now go on to represent the region at the
national Medilink UK Awards, which takes place at the
MedTech Innovation Expo, Ricoh Arena, Coventry in
April this year.
