The relaunched British Expertise International Awards are an important showcase for the achievements of the UK professional services sector internationally. Crown Agents was Lead Sponsor for the 2013 Awards and delighted to align our brand with this well-run and stylishly presented programme. Ministerial backing, a high profile judging panel, and entry by the biggest and best organisations in this sector are hallmarks of the Awards.Steve taylor Executive Director, Business Development, Crown Agents

IntroductionLast years awards demonstrated just how much our industry has to celebrate. The companies that attended the 2013 Awards are involved in many of the worlds most important development and infrastructure projects, delivering world-beating quality and innovation.

The independent judging panel reviewed an unprecedented number of entries. Each and every category was fiercely contested and the overall standard of submissions was assessed by the judges to be of an outstanding quality.

The shortlist read like a roll call of the most innovative and leading UK professional services companies working internationally.

The Awards attracted support from the Governments Minister of Trade, Lord Green Lord Marland, the Prime Ministers Trade Envoy attended the event. They were backed by UK Trade & Investment and supported by leading industry figures and client representatives, who gave their time to judge the awards.

The Awards were supported by the leading players in the professional services sector, who took great care in entering the competition and enjoyed attending the Celebration Dinner.

But this powerful showcase would not have been possible without the backing from our sponsors - some of the brightest and best brands in our industry.

Im delighted that UKTI and New Civil Engineer (NCE) have both confirmed that they will be supporting the 2014 Awards; UKTI as a sponsor and NCE as our Media Partner. Its wonderful to have two such high-profile organisations already behind the event.

The British Expertise International Awards present an opportunity to align your organisation with excellence. The event is targeted at a senior level audience, presenting the UKs most ambitious companies in the sectors.

I hope that you will join us, becoming a central part of this exciting and energetic programme, recognising and rewarding the very best organisations and individuals from within our industry.

Welcome to the 2014 British Expertise International Awards. We are determined to further increase the impact of this reshaped and relaunched recognition programme, creating a compelling showcase for the international achievements of the UK professional services sector.

The British Expertise International AwardsThe British Expertise International Awards were relaunched in 2013 to encourage and recognise outstanding contributions from the UKs professional services industry. This programme celebrates the ambitions of both large corporations and SMEs, and provides a platform to showcase exceptional international projects, contracts and individual contributions.

The Awards culminated in a high profile Celebration Dinner, which sold out in 2013. A record number of entries were received, which were of the highest standard. The Awards were rebranded and promoted through a dedicated website and e-marketing activities as well as using conventional channels. The result was a stronger profile than ever in the infrastructure and professional services arena.

We will be welcoming entries to the 2014 awards during the summer. These will be assessed by an authoritative, independent judging panel in November before the winners are announced at the Awards Celebration Dinner in April 2014.

Alongside press coverage, a far-reaching and targeted marketing campaign will reach thousands of UK companies from the professional services industry operating internationally.

The Awards celebration event will present a valuable opportunity to network with some of the most influential representatives from within this sector.
