Interior surfaces and fit-out manufacturer honoured with ‘Social Impact’ prize
Morland, part of Interior Products Group Ltd, has been recognised as the ‘Social Impact’ winner at the 2025 Made in Britain Impact Awards, celebrating its outstanding commitment to community engagement, employee well-being and social responsibility.
The Welshpool-based business, which is one of the UK’s leading interior surfaces and fit-out manufacturers, secured the accolade at the ceremony this week, hosted by Made in Britain – the internationally recognised trademark for British-made goods.

From employee well-being and volunteering initiatives to education partnerships and local sponsorships, their approach shows how social purpose and commercial success can go hand in hand. It’s a brilliant example of a British manufacturer leading by example.”
The award was judged by Benafsha Delgado, Head of Social Sustainability Programme for the UN Global Compact Network UK, and presented by Simon Boyd, Executive Director of Made in Britain. Judges commended Morland for the depth and consistency of its community engagement and the long-term value of its partnerships.
