We are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for Engineering Manufacturer of the Year in the Insider’s Made in the North East Awards 2026. 

Insider’s Made in the North East Awards aim to celebrate all that’s great about manufacturing. They shine a light on the most innovative and dynamic manufacturers and recognise those achieving excellence across a range of disciplines within the region. 

The Engineering Manufacturer of the Year award celebrates a company that showcases excellence in engineering, as well as high-performance products. We were shortlisted following an in-depth judging process in which a panel of independent manufacturing experts scrutinised and assessed all the online entry submissions.  

Nick Betts, Group Business Development Director at NTG Group, said: “We are thrilled that NTG has been shortlisted for the Engineering Manufacturer of the Year award.  

“Our submission highlighted the strength of our capabilities, continued investment in cutting-edge equipment and advanced facilities, the accreditations that demonstrate our commitment to quality and excellence – and so much more. At the heart of it all is our people and a clear, ambitious strategic vision that is driving the business forward. 

“We’re incredibly proud of the growth journey we’re on, and to be recognised in this way is a real milestone. Being shortlisted is a tremendous achievement in itself and a celebration of the hard work, innovation and dedication shown across the entire NTG Group team.” 

The winners of the awards will be announced during a gala black-tie dinner at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead on the evening of Thursday 26th March 2026. 

Following the dinner, all the winners will be shortlisted for Insider’s national final event, the Made in the UK Awards, in which they will compete against winners from other regions across the UK.
