Anfield To Host The 2025 GMA Industry Awards

Following the exciting announcement of the Industry Awards 2025 and #GroundsWeek dates last week, the Grounds Management Association (GMA) is delighted to confirm Anfield Stadium as the host venue for the 2025 GMA Industry Awards ceremony.

The prestigious event will take place on Thursday 13 March 2025 at the iconic home of Liverpool Football Club.

Having previously been hosted in November alongside SALTEX, the awards moved to Headingley Stadium last year and will now be held at the grand setting of Anfield Stadium in 2025. Known for its rich history and vibrant atmosphere, Anfield will provide a spectacular backdrop for this prestigious occasion.

The GMA Industry Awards has continued to recognise excellence in grounds care across the professional, amateur, and voluntary sectors since 2009. This prestigious awards ceremony brings together many of the UK and Europe’s leading practitioners and suppliers to pay tribute to the very best in the sector and is therefore the perfect event to kick off the GMA’s annual awareness campaign, #GroundsWeek, which will take place between 17 - 23 March 2025.

In addition to the awards ceremony, the evening will feature a three-course meal, entertainment, and the opportunity to network with industry peers and leaders. Guests will have the chance to connect, share insights, and celebrate the grounds management sector's collective achievements.

Geoff Webb, CEO of the Grounds Management Association said:
We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to host our annual GMA Industry Awards at Liverpool FC’s Anfield Stadium in 2025. The change of venue promises a fresh and exciting backdrop for one of the biggest events in the sports turf industry calendar. We look forward to recognising and celebrating the contributions of both professionals and volunteers in such an iconic setting.

Details regarding the awards categories along with the how to enter or nominate someone deserving will be announced soon.
