There was a real buzz around the event and shows that the Scottish engineering, technology and manufacturing sector is thriving and making a major and significant contribution to the economy.
He added: “We would like to congratulate all the winners for their awards were well deserved and hard won. Also we had a record number of delegates attend the event which is now a landmark date in the Scottish business calendar. CEED is all about sharing best practice and ideas in a collaborative community and the awards clearly demonstrate that there is a passion within Scottish industry to help other succeed in business. I would also like to thank our sponsors and supporters who make the awards possible.”
