Scarab Sweepers has been recognised as an ‘outstanding ambassador for British manufacturing’ after receiving a prestigious national award for its commitment to championing British-made products and responsible business practices.
The Tonbridge-based company, part of the international Fayat Group, was presented with the 2026 Made in Britain Trademark Excellence Award at the organisation’s annual Impact Awards ceremony on Wednesday 4th November.
The special accolade recognises manufacturers that proudly demonstrate the commercial, environmental and social benefits of British manufacturing.
Scarab Sweepers was recognised for embracing Made in Britain’s Environmental and Social Value Certification, using it to demonstrate responsible procurement practices and strengthen its credibility when competing for contracts.
The manufacturer has also supported local food banks, contributed to native tree planting through the Woodland Trust and introduced environmental education initiatives for young children.
Earlier this year, Scarab unveiled its latest generation of British-made road sweeping technology, which displays the official Made in Britain trademark.
Richard Dennis, Managing Director of Scarab Sweepers, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to receive the Trademark Excellence Award for 2026. Our business, which was founded 47 years ago, is proud to be made in Britain.”
Aaron Barton, Technical Sales and Fleet Assistant at Scarab Sweepers, said: “The UK is the worldwide hub of road sweepers, and having the Made in Britain accreditation is a market lead and advantage over our competitors. This is a market benefit for both the domestic market and the export market as well.”
Camilla Hadcock, Chair of Made in Britain, said: “Scarab Sweepers has shown that the Made in Britain trademark is about much more than where a product is manufactured. It’s about demonstrating the values, expertise and responsible practices behind it.
“The company has embraced the opportunities that membership provides, using its environmental and social value credentials to strengthen customer confidence while actively supporting its community. Scarab is an outstanding ambassador for British manufacturing and a thoroughly deserving recipient of our Trademark Excellence Award.”
The award, presented for only the second time following inaugural winner Thomas Dudley in 2025, recognises outstanding engagement with Made in Britain and its wider manufacturing community.
Organised and hosted by the not-for-profit trade body, Made in Britain, the Impact Awards celebrate achievements among manufacturers licensed to use the official Made in Britain trademark.
Other winners from the 2026 Impact Awards include Invica Industries (Heritage Manufacturer of the Year), Rotary Precision Instruments (Heroes of British Export), MAV Systems (Innovation of the Year), Apex Pumps (Excellence in Procurement), Orange Campers (Marketing Campaign of the Year), Trueform Engineering (Social Impact in Manufacturing Award), Anna Angel of Anya Sushko Handbags England (Inspiring Leader of the Year) and Aluminium Shapes (Sustainability Initiative of the Year).
