MABEY Bridge has been shortlisted for three highly prestigious awards by British Expertise International.

The Lydney-based firm is the world’s leading steel fabrication experts, specialising in bridge construction and infrastructure solutions.

The company’s Sri Lanka regional bridging project has been shortlisted in two award categories: outstanding international development project – infrastructure and outstanding international collaboration, while its Polduwa Bridge project has been shortlisted in the award category for outstanding international design project.

Mabey Bridge’s sales director, Neil Boyle said: “We have beaten off some stiff competition to get this far.

“These awards represent an international yardstick by which the performance of British exporting companies such as ourselves can be measured against their peers, many of whom are already recognised as being world-class.

“These awards also measure ‘soft’ skills that are sometimes overlooked in large-scale engineering projects but which are hugely important, including teamwork and collaboration.”

The British Expertise International helps its members win and successfully complete business overseas, and its annual awards scheme provides a showcase for the international achievements of the UK professional services sector.

The winner will be awarded in April 2016 at an award celebration dinner.
