Bristol-based Third Dimension, a supplier of hand-held precision measurement solutions, was recently named as the South regional winner of the Business Growth & Strategy category of the EEF Future Manufacturing Awards, which recognise businesses that demonstrate a commitment to the future of UK manufacturing. Neal Agar and Ellie O’Hare represented the company at a gala dinner at the Beaulieu motor museum.

This is the second time Third Dimension (www.third.com) has been celebrated by the EEF, having won the Future Manufacturing regional award in 2015 in the Outstanding Export category. The company has also won Queen’s Awards — in 2015 and 2017 — and it was described as a “champion for exports” by the judges of the South West Business Insider awards, where it won in the regional export category in 2015.

Third Dimension CEO Tim Monks said: “Turning innovative ideas into commercial success is what makes our business tick, so I’m delighted to have won this award. I’m fortunate to work with an extremely talented group of people — from sales and marketing, finance, research and development, through to support and production — all playing their part in the business’s growth and development.”
