British Chamber of Commerce - Achievement in International Business Award 2009 (Scotland)
Braidwood Associates, the specialist microsimulation traffic modelling consultancy, has won the prestigious British Chamber of Commerce Scottish region International Business Achievement Award.
The award, supported by Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, was made following four years of international growth for the Edinburgh based consultancy.
Scottish entrepreneur Richard Braidwood set up the business in 2005 and has overseen four consecutive years of revenue and profit growth underpinned by strong performance in the United States. The company generates over 90% of its business from its US operations and is in prime position to benefit from continued infrastructure investment in the US.
Ron Hewitt, CEO, of Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce said: Braidwood Associates demonstrates a great example of businesses built in Scotland that have grown by seizing opportunities in foreign markets. The company has developed an international client list based on the traditional values of innovation, expertise and hard work. We believe that there are a number of other companies that are well placed to follow the lead of Braidwood Associates and these are businesses that we can all be proud of.
Richard Braidwood, managing director, of Edinburgh based Braidwood Associates said:"We are naturally delighted that Braidwood Associates has been recognised in this way. We view the Chamber of Commerce Award for International Business as a benchmark of excellence. We have built one of the world's leading independent 3D traffic simulation businesses and established a client base which includes some of the biggest transport authorities in the world along with a number of the most enterprising private corporations globally. Our intention is to maintain our growth by capitalising on the ongoing investment in infrastructure projects around the world".
"Our focused approach continues with expansion plans, from our head office in Scotland, will also encompass a close assessment of opportunities elsewhere in the world based on our successful business model and experience in the microsimulation marketplace."
