Background
Mackie’s of Scotland won the International Business of the Year award at the British Business Awards, a big moment for the family-run firm.
The Aberdeenshire-based company received the honour at a recent ceremony, where judges praised its strong global growth and success in exporting products to international markets. The award highlights Mackie’s steady expansion beyond the UK while maintaining its roots in Scotland.
Managing Director Stuart Common said the recognition reflects years of effort across the business. He described the win as a proud moment for the entire team, from farm operations to logistics, sales, and marketing. He added that the award belongs to everyone involved in bringing the company’s products to customers worldwide.
The British Business Awards celebrate leading companies across sectors and recognise innovation, growth, and resilience. Mackie’s stood out among a competitive shortlist that included Addleshaw Goddard and Johnstons of Elgin before securing the top prize in its category.
Judges noted the company’s ability to grow internationally while remaining independent and family-owned. They also highlighted its continued investment and long-term vision as key factors behind its success.
The latest award adds to Mackie’s growing reputation in overseas markets. The company has expanded its reach in recent years, supplying products to a wider global customer base while continuing production from its home base in north-east Scotland.
Industry observers say the recognition reflects a broader trend of UK businesses strengthening their international presence despite challenging market conditions. The award puts Mackie’s among Scotland’s top food brands with a strong presence beyond its borders.
