Most recently, the company was named ‘Employer of the Year’ at the prestigious 2024 Best of Northumberland Awards. This accolade recognises companies that demonstrate outstanding commitment to employee development, welfare and fostering a positive work environment through strong staff relations, retention and training opportunities.

Earlier in the year, Allan Brothers triumphed in the ‘Made in the North East’ category at the Northumberland & Tyneside regional heat of the 2024 North East Business Awards. This commendation celebrates excellence in manufacturing and production as well as highlighting its vital contribution to the broader economy.

Additionally, Allan Brothers’ apprentice, Rafal Krzeminski, won ‘Engineering/Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year’ at the 2024 North East Apprenticeship Awards. This achievement honours the region’s most talented apprentices, as well as the employers, colleges and training providers that help nurture their success.

Reflecting on a remarkable year, Morten Bach Valsted, Managing Director of Allan Brothers, said: “2024 has been very positive for us. We’re delighted to have been recognised in these awards as we continue to invest in our workforce, upgrade our product range, and enhance our manufacturing capabilities as a strong foundation for the company’s current and future growth.”
