In engaging with overseas markets, BMT has risen to the Government’s export challenge, demonstrating that outstanding results in testing economic times can be achieved, helping to reduce the UK balance of trade deficit and creating jobs within local economies. This also creates a win-win situation for its customers and BMT as the company’s skills and expertise gained from its overseas endeavours further benefit its UK customer base.

Muir Macdonald, managing director of BMT Defence Services Ltd said:  “We are delighted that our work is recognised by this prestigious award. The Queen’s Award for Enterprise is fantastic recognition for our teams across the company who have been developing and delivering our international business for several years.
