A Flimby firm has been hailed as one of the country’s leading engineering companies.

Forth Engineering was handed one of the industry’s top national awards in recognition of its innovation and achievement.

Winning the Small Company of the Year title at the British Engineering Excellence Awards in London, the firm was among some of the country’s most talented teams. It was among winners including the Williams Formula 1 team and Jaguar Land Rover.

Martin Lewis, commercial director at Forth, said: “Being called out as the winner of that category was a very proud moment for us at Forth, particularly as it was classed as an outstanding category and was fiercely competitive.

“It is a reflection of the whole team, the hard work that is contributed every day to making the business a success and the quality of solutions we offer.”
