Engineer of the Year pitted against
one another to decide on ‘the best
of the best’. The winner of this
prestigious prize was Sebastien
Cuvelier Mussalian, who won in 2013
for his work as lead engineer on the
OrganOx perfusion system, which
keeps donor human livers ‘alive’
before being transplanted.
Since then, Sebastien has gone on
to build an international reputation
for the design, development and
industrialisation of innovative, robust
medical devices. The judges were
keen to recognise his contribution
to the industry; his ability to handle
complex, multidisciplinary projects;
and the truly global impact of his
work.
Luke Webster, publishing
director of awards organiser MA
Business, said: “A decade on from
its beginnings, this year’s British
Engineering Excellence Awards
winners are evidence that British
engineering is still producing
superb companies, products,
projects and people. Through
every category, the judges were
deeply impressed by the quality of
engineering put forward and the
talent behind it. I congratulate all
those entrants that were shortlisted
and of course the winners.”
