MBDA UK Recognition Awards 2026
Monday 13 July 2026
Every year at MBDA UK, we take time to recognise and celebrate our teams and individual employees who have embodied our company values and gone above and beyond in their roles.
Nominations for the awards themselves are led by our own employees, and this event is just one of the ways that we make sure excellence is acknowledged and rewarded across the business.
2026 Celebrations
This year’s celebration event for our winners took place on a sunny evening, with many MBDA employees invited to attend. Speaking at the event, Managing Director UK, Chris Allam said:
“We’ve got 750 brilliant people from the UK business who have all won awards. It’s a great event, with MBDA coming together as a family and celebrating what we do… away from the serious day to day business.
I just to say thank you to everybody, for everything that you do.”
A great event for all
Our celebrations (once again) proved a big hit with all in attendance; with many happy people enjoying activities from dodgems to inflatable axe throwing, then later listening to live bands play with a pizza or drink in hand.
Below are just a few quotations from some of this year’s attendees:
“It just gets better and better every year. I think the atmosphere that’s created, and the awards themselves.”
“I’ve bumped in to a few people that I already know, and meeting lots of people that I didn’t, and there’s great fun to be had with the attractions and some brilliant live music.”
“I don’t know what I was expecting, but I think it’s been really warm and lovely, and all these little activities bring everyone together and I think that’s just really great.”
“This is a really great event that MBDA have put on – it’s a really great way to feel valued as an employee.”
