"Your growth on this site since the original Powerscreen days is a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and resilience. You have been instrumental in growing an engineering cluster here.
"You have set the standard in terms of quality and product development and you have been pioneers in research, development and innovation."
A new electrical apprenticeship programme was also launched at the ceremony which will offer individuals an opportunity to gain hands-on experience within the industry while studying for an in-demand qualification to opens doors to various career paths, including Electrical/Electronic Design Engineer, Electrical Service Technician, Control Panel Builder, and PLC Automation specialist.
