“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.”

Camilla Hadcock, Chair of Made in Britain

We are proud to have received the 2026 Made in Britain Trademark Excellence Award, recognising our outstanding commitment to British manufacturing and our contribution to the wider manufacturing community.

Presented at Made in Britain's annual Impact Awards ceremony on 4 November, the award celebrates manufacturers that go beyond displaying the Made in Britain trademark, actively demonstrating the commercial, environmental and social value of producing in the UK.

For us, this recognition reflects our longstanding commitment to designing and manufacturing specialist road sweeping vehicles at our facility in Marden, Kent, while championing the expertise, quality and innovation associated with British engineering. It also recognises the importance we place on making a positive difference to our people, our local community and the wider environment.

Demonstrating the wider value of British manufacturing

The award acknowledges our commitment to making a positive contribution beyond our manufacturing operations. This includes supporting our local community through various projects, such as education packs for preschools, and recognising the importance of the natural environment by donating to the Woodland Trust for the planting of native trees.

We believe responsible manufacturing is about more than the products we make. It is about the opportunities we create, the communities we support and the positive social impact we can have. These commitments form an important part of our identity as a British manufacturer.

Proud to be made in Britain

Commenting on the achievement, our Managing Director, Richard Dennis, said:

“We're absolutely thrilled to receive the Trademark Excellence Award for 2026. This award is a fantastic recognition of the work that goes into our products and the values we stand for as a manufacturer.”

Aaron Barton, our Technical Sales and Fleet Assistant, added:

“The UK is the worldwide hub of road sweepers, and having the Made in Britain accreditation is a market lead and advantage. This is a market benefit for both the domestic market and the export market as well.”

The Trademark Excellence Award was presented for only the second time, following its introduction in 2025, making this a particularly significant achievement for us.

As we continue to develop our range of British-built sweeping solutions for customers across six continents, this award reinforces the importance of our manufacturing heritage, specialist expertise and commitment to responsible business practices – recognising that the value of British manufacturing extends well beyond the products themselves.

We are proud to represent British manufacturing on the world stage.
