Congratulations to YTL Corporation for being awarded UK-Malaysia Business of the Year at the fourth iteration of the British Malaysia Chamber of Commerce’s (BMCC) Business Excellence Awards! 

The award, positioned as the pinnacle achievement of the ceremony, recognises the diversified group’s stellar track record of investment in the UK which have contributed to their thriving local business and fostered mutual economic benefits between the UK and Malaysia. 

The BMCC also awarded our Group Executive Chairman, Tan Sri (Sir) Francis Yeoh Sock Ping with the UK-Malaysia Business Personality of the Year Award, honouring his exceptional role in investment developments in Wessex and Bristol in the UK.  

“It also recognises his passion and commitment to innovation, philanthropy, and extraordinary contribution to sustainability which has left a significant mark, preserving the legacy between the UK and Malaysia,” said the BMCC during the award ceremony, celebrated in conjunction with the chamber’s 60th anniversary. 

YTL Construction was also awarded first-runner up in the Diversity & Inclusion category, which celebrates organisations across all industries that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to fostering the spirit of diversity and inclusion within the workplace through effective strategies and initiatives. 

The ceremony was held at St Regis Kuala Lumpur last Thursday (8th June 2023) and was graced by Investment, Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong, British High Commissioner to Malaysia Charles Hay, and UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Malaysia Richard Graham. 

“All the award nominees have, in one way or another, contributed to the ever-growing UK-Malaysia trade relationship,” said Hay, who chaired the award series’ judging panel.
