That the Parliament congratulates Signal, the video production company based in Hazlehead, Aberdeen, on its success at the 47th annual Telly Awards 2026; understands that the Telly Awards is a showcase of media content, with this year’s edition, titled Capture the Original, attracting more than 13,000 submissions from companies spanning five continents; notes that Signal received an international Gold award in the Corporate Image category for its collection of advertising films called Thrust Forward, which were commissioned by Wärtsilä, the Finnish marine and energy decarbonisation company; understands that the Thrust Forward films documented Wärtsilä’s programme of modernising 62 marine thruster units used on Noble Corporation’s drill ships, with the production including underwater filming and filming covering work carried out aboard the ships; recognises that Signal won a second international Gold award in the Promotional Video – B2B category for its brand video for Thistle Seafoods, a gourmet food producer located in Peterhead; acknowledges that the Thistle brand video explores its full production cycle, including the devising of recipes in the research kitchen and the despatch of products to global buyers; observes that Signal’s submissions were directly competing against contributions from well-known brands, including Pepsi and Porsche; remarks upon what it sees as the talent and expertise of the Signal team in producing ambitious, bespoke media content for an international market, and wishes everyone at Signal all the best for the future.
