Luke Webster, publishing director of MA Business, said: “This is the 10th Anniversary of the British Engineering Excellence Awards and as long as they have been in existence, they have been the benchmark for great British engineering design. I’m delighted to say that this year is no exception, with an exceptionally diverse and fascinating set of entries.
“As befits such an important anniversary, this year we will not only be celebrating the present and future of British engineering, but also honour the winners of the past with the ‘Design Engineer of the Decade’ category. In this way, we hope to celebrate everything that’s great in British engineering design.”
