M-Sport wins Ford’s Recognition of Achievement Award

M-Sport has received Ford’s Recognition of Achievement Award for New Consumer Focused Technology at Tuesday night’s World Excellence Awards in Michigan, USA. The Awards ceremony, which celebrated its tenth anniversary, recognised suppliers who embraced Ford's vision of profitable growth, teamwork and a better world.

M-Sport Company Director Malcolm Wilson was present in Michigan to receive the prestigious Award from Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally and Group Vice President, Global Product Development, Derek Kuzak.

“It is an honour to be recognised by Ford’s top level for the achievements of the business. The ceremony provided a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues in the United States,” said M-Sport Company Director Malcolm Wilson.

Ford Motor Company recognised 47 top global suppliers at 57 locations for their work in helping Ford develop high quality, lower cost vehicles for their customer market.

"This marks the tenth year we have honoured world-class suppliers for extraordinary contributions that directly impact Ford's ability to deliver high quality vehicles and customer satisfaction. These successes belong not just to Ford – but our suppliers as well," said Tony Brown, Group Vice President, Global Purchasing.

"It is a pleasure to recognize the technical excellence of our supplier partners," said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally. "As we work to deliver the products and services people really want and value, we are more fully integrating our suppliers into our processes. It is by working together that we will be able to deliver profitable growth for all involved with the Ford enterprise."
