In 2016, recognising outstanding contributions to the metals recycling industry, the BMRA began issuing Lifetime Achievement Awards. The recipients are nominated by fellow recyclers and show the wealth of talent, expertise and experience across the metals recycling industry. Recipients are selected by the BMRA Board and they receive their awards at the Annual Dinner.
