Winners of the Young Engineers Champions Awards 2010 Announced

Arup, Imtech Aqua Ltd, and IMA Cooling Systems have been announced as the winners of the Young Engineers Champions Awards 2010.

Now in their second year, the awards, sponsored by Baxi Commercial Division, recognise innovation in developing engineers of the future, and seek to reward those organisations which proactively champion young people in industry.

Each of the winning companies showed particular commitment to championing young people in the building services engineering industry, and in supporting them in employment and in education.

Arup won the award in the large company category, and was recognised for their commitment to supporting and maintaining young engineers despite difficult economic conditions. Imtech Aqua Ltd won the medium company category , with a strong all round submission, in particularly that 30% of engineering staff were developed through their own company, as well as being active in the community and local schools. IMA Cooling systems took the small company trophy, with their sophisticated and tailored training programme and their all round submission which was seen to be particularly impressive for a company of their size.

IMA Cooling Systems also won the overall category of 'Champion of Champions'.

The winners, which were announced on 8 July 2010 at an event in City Hall, each received a trophy and £1,000 of CIBSE training vouchers.
