Dynisma, a multi-award-winning developer of high-performance Driver-in-the-Loop simulators, has been awarded Leadership Team of the Year 2026 at the prestigious British Business Awards, held last night on April 30 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
The awards, held in association with NatWest, recognise businesses demonstrating exceptional leadership, innovation and commercial performance across the UK. With hundreds of entries submitted this year, the competition was once again highly competitive, with Dynisma recognised for the strength, alignment and execution of its leadership team in driving sustained growth and operational excellence.
Dynisma’s leadership team has successfully scaled the business from a specialist engineering start-up into a global supplier of advanced simulation technology, supporting programmes across motorsport and automotive, as well as research and development applications worldwide. This growth has been underpinned by continued investment in people, processes and infrastructure, including the expansion of its Technology and Manufacturing Campus in the South West.
The judging panel recognised Dynisma’s ability to combine deep technical innovation with disciplined leadership and strong commercial execution, building a resilient organisation capable of scaling globally while maintaining engineering quality and delivery performance.
Graeme Cook, CEO of Dynisma, said: “Winning Leadership Team of the Year 2026 is a fantastic recognition of the collective effort, alignment and ambition across our leadership team. We have worked hard to build a business that combines engineering excellence with operational discipline, enabling us to scale globally while continuing to deliver for our customers. This award is a reflection of the people behind Dynisma and the culture we are building together.”
Andy Gray, Managing Director, NatWest Commercial Mid-Market, said: “Dynisma is a standout example of a modern British engineering success story. The leadership team has demonstrated a clear vision and the ability to execute at pace, building a globally competitive business from the UK. Through our partnership with UK Export Finance, we’ve been able to support Dynisma in securing major international contracts and unlocking access to critical trade finance, enabling the business to scale globally. This collaboration highlights how UK financial and export support can help innovative companies compete on the world stage, while driving skilled job creation and economic growth at home. This achievement reflects our focus and the importance of the Mid‑Market – ambitious leadership, disciplined growth and technology‑driven businesses that strengthen the UK economy through international expansion.”

Dynisma’s recent accolades include ranking in the Sunday Times Top 100 Tech List and the Financial Times FT1000, recognising its position among Europe’s fastest-growing companies. The business has received multiple awards for innovation, growth and engineering excellence, reflecting its continued impact across global advanced engineering markets.
