MDL wins Made in the UK, Sold to the World Award
MDL has been recognised as one of 12 winners in UK Government’s prestigious “Made in the UK, Sold to the World” Awards.
Organised by the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and now in their third year, the awards celebrate the international growth of the UK’s most dynamic small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), excelling in global trade across diverse sectors such as food and drink, education, low-carbon energy, digital and technology.
MDL was the only company in Scotland to achieve this year’s Award, recognised in the Infrastructure and Engineering category for “92% export revenue from offshore energy technology” while demonstrating alignment with the energy transition.
Aleksandra Jurczak, Director of Strategy & Marketing at MDL, said:
“We’re proud to be recognised in these notable Awards, reflecting the continuous growth of our business overseas, and the strong relationships established with clients over time. Exporting has been key to MDL’s growth, enabling us to bring our proven solutions to global clients, while creating skilled jobs at home as well as supporting the drive towards sustainable energy diversification.
“This award is a testament to the dedication of One Team MDL and the strength of UK engineering on the international stage, which we will continue to promote the benefits of in future international endeavours.”
This Award follows MDL achieving the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2024, as well as the last Queen’s Award in the same category in 2022.
