Land Energy, based in South Ayrshire, has been named the winner of the Resilience Award at the 2026 Industry Awards hosted by the Centre for Engineering, Education and Development (CeeD).
The award recognises organisations that demonstrate exceptional ability to strengthen operations, adapt to change and build long-term resilience through effective leadership, strategy and continuous improvement.
The company has implemented a structured programme to align people, processes and strategy, building stronger, more resilient operations. Early improvements from targeted initiatives and gap analysis are already delivering measurable benefits, forming the foundation for ongoing organisational growth, strengthening internal systems and ensuring the organisation is well positioned to adapt and grow in a rapidly changing energy landscape, as well as being more adaptable in the current geopolitically uncertain era.
Reg Stewart, Business Excellence Lead at Land Energy, said:
“We are incredibly proud to receive this award from CeeD. Building resilience is about ensuring the organisation is strong, flexible, and ready for the future.
Our entire team has been working hard to review our processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and align our people and systems around a clear long-term vision. This award reflects commitment across the whole business to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
We would also like to thank all the other nominees and CeeD for an amazing evening.”
The CeeD Industry Awards celebrate organisations across Scotland that demonstrate excellence in innovation, knowledge exchange, skills development, internationalisation, collaboration and leadership.
Land Energy’s success highlights the strength of Scotland’s renewable energy and manufacturing sectors and the importance of resilient organisations in supporting sustainable economic growth in Scotland and the wider UK.
