Prestige Awards

James N Kirby Award
The James N Kirby Award was established in 1956 to mark the contribution of Sir James Kirby, CBE to manufacturing in Australia by the Institution of Production Engineers (latterly the Institution of Manufacturing Engineers).
The first award was presented in 1956 in Sydney. Following the merger of the Institution of Manufacturing Engineers with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (now the Institution of Engineering and Technology), responsibility for the Award now rests with IET Australia.

The Award comprises an engraved medal and certificate and is awarded to “a person who has achieved outstanding eminence, distinction and public recognition in any sphere of activity, not necessarily engineering”. Previous recipients of the Award include Sir Mark Oliphant, Sir Arvi Parbo, Senator John Button and E C “George” Fox.
