Final Call for Subsea UK Award Nominations
Industry body Subsea UK has issued a final call for entries ahead of its prestigious 2018 business awards. The awards recognise companies and individuals who are leading the way in Britain’s GBP 9 billion subsea sector. Entries are being sought for the subsea company of the year (large and small), the most promising young person in the sector, outstanding contribution by an individual to the industry and emerging enterprise.
The awards will also recognise achievements and innovations in technology, safety and exports. Nominations can be made online via www.subseaexpo.com by Friday 3 November 2017.
An independent judging panel of industry leaders will score each entry according to the agreed criteria and the shortlist of finalists will be announced in January 2018.
Accolades will be presented at a gala dinner, organised by Subsea UK on 8 February 2018 during Subsea Expo, Europe’s largest subsea conference and exhibition.
Several hundred business leaders are expected to attend the dinner that celebrates the hard work and outstanding achievements generated across the industry over the past twelve months.
Last year’s dinner, attended by over 600 guests from across the international energy industry, saw Hydro Group named Company of the Year and Ian Donald of Enpro was named the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution Award.
Proserv won the award for innovation & technology; while Aidan O’Sullivan of Universal Pegasus, scooped the award for young emerging talent. EC-OG was crowned the Small Company of the Year and The Underwater Centre won the Innovation for Safety award. The global exports award went to JDR Cable Systems for its rapid expansion into key international markets.
With the theme ‘Facing the Future’, Subsea Expo 2018, which will be held at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre from 7-9th February, will look at what must be done to reinvent the industry in a new reality.
