Despite stiff competition from other local businesses, MGt has been successful in winning a ‘Green Business Fife’ Award. MGt picked up the award in the ‘Environmental Management’ category for ‘Supporting a Green Community’, as a result of it’s demonstrable reduction in resource consumption, reduced quantity of waste sent to landfill and work within the community through the MGt Community Projects initiative.

Now in its second year, the Green Business Awards recognises Fife-based companies for their work improving environmental performance, products, services and green entrepreneurship.

Winning companies are now also automatically submitted to the Scotland wide ‘Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland’ (VIBES) Awards, success at which can lead to nomination for a highly-coveted European Business Awards.

On behalf of MGt, Karen Elliot and Valerie Gibson attended a gala dinner and awards ceremony and were presented with the award by David Miller, BBC Scotland Environmental Correspondent who was the ceremony’s guest of honour.
