Hilson Moran has been named the NCE/ACE Medium Consultant of the Year 2011. Now in its eighth year, the awards celebrate outstanding business performance by engineering consultancies across the UK.

The awards are based on submissions to NCE’s Consultants File, a unique insight into the health and wealth of the engineering consultancy market. Judging is based on strict criteria including revenues in relation to staff numbers, projects that applicants have been involved in and innovative activity undertaken during the year.

Chris Plummer, Managing Director, commented on the win: “We are thrilled to have been named Medium Consultant of the Year. Even in the most challenging of economic times we have stayed true to our founding ethos of striving to provide clients with the best quality service and these efforts, coupled with our strong reputation for delivery, have enabled us to continue to secure many exciting, high quality projects in the UK and overseas.”
