Third Dimension win another export award

Third Dimension proudly collected the Outstanding Export Award at the prestigious regional EEF/Aldermore Future Manufacturing Awards.

The award, which was sponsored by Dunedin, celebrates the achievements of manufacturers that have developed and implemented a successful new export strategy.

The company was selected by a panel of judges drawn from business leaders, industry experts and academics and was up against stiff competition from a range of businesses, small and large, from across the South West and South Wales.

Third Dimension will now go on to find out if it has won the national title at an awards gala dinner in London in April.

Nicol Fraser, Partner at Dunedin, said: “Congratulations to Third Dimension and Airbus Operations on their well-deserved success. Exporting is key to success in a competitive global economy and manufacturers such as Third Dimension are playing an important part in driving the UK’s economic growth.”
