Commenting Paul Fanning, publishing director at MA Business, said, “The British Engineering Excellence Awards have been the benchmark for great British engineering design for more than a decade now. I’m delighted to say that – despite all the disruption we’ve seen - this year is no exception, with an exceptionally diverse and fascinating set of entries.
“As this year has been out of the ordinary to say the least, we will be doing some things differently, For instance, we will honour those engineers who have stepped up during this crisis in our Design Engineer of the Year category. In this way, we hope to celebrate everything that’s great in British engineering design.”
