BritishAmerican Business (BAB) has announced the winners of the 2026 Transatlantic Growth Awards at its annual ceremony in London, recognising companies demonstrating outstanding commitment to investment, expansion and growth across the UK-US corridor.
Now in its eighth year, the Awards celebrate businesses that continue to strengthen transatlantic economic ties through investment, market expansion, job creation and innovation.
BritishAmerican Business CEO, Duncan Edwards said:
“Congratulations to this year’s winners for all their achievements. These awards come at a time when companies are navigating shifts in the political and economic environment on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite that backdrop, the fundamentals of the UK-US relationship remain exceptionally strong. The US continues to be an incredibly attractive market for UK companies, and the UK remains one of the most important global destinations for US investment.
“What we continue to see is businesses adapting, investing for the long term, and recognising that the opportunity in both markets far outweighs the challenges. This year’s winners are a clear reflection of that reality.”
