Beca, one of the leading engineering consultancy companies in New Zealand, emerged as the winner at the New Zealand International Business Awards held in Auckland on Wednesday, getting the judges' supreme award for its outstanding success in the international market.

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, an economic development agency by the government, finally recognized the success of Beca, having more than 2500 people working at its 20 offices around the world. The firm maintains a successful performance record since 2006, having doubled its revenue to $118 million.

Beca CEO, Keith Reynolds, said: "Over that passage of time we've been involved with government agents, with private consortia and there's been a huge demand for infrastructure. Our business is not just engineering, it's environmental and planning and other advisory work, and if you take that as a spread across the world it's been healthy times for us."

Reynolds felt proud over firm's 90-year ancestry and pledged to continue with its specific innovation program. He credited his highly proficient workforce for providing a strong platform for the company's success in the market.

Reynolds said: "It's from New Zealand that we're then able to take our innovation, our expertise and our skills developed here in particular niche areas and take those to other countries."
