D&T Excellence Awards 2023
Published 16th October 2023
In the ever-evolving world of design and technology, there are those who stand out, and their remarkable contributions deserve recognition. The Design and Technology Association Excellence Awards, a tradition that began in 1999 under the guidance of the Design and Technology Association Trustees, is all about honouring these individuals who inspire and innovate.
The event took place on Friday the 13th of October and the venue couldn't have been more fitting – the prestigious Aerospace Bristol under the iconic Concorde. It was a night to remember.
