Project Engineer James shortlisted as Young Designer of The Year

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the British Engineering Excellence Awards which celebrate everything that's great in British engineering design. James says:

"I’m massively excited to be one of three nominees shortlisted for the Young Designer of the Year in the British Engineering Excellence Awards.

For ten years, the BEEAs have been an incredibly important recognition of the huge amount of engineering talent present within the UK. Awards such as these ensure that engineers and other innovators continue to be celebrated within our society and, I hope, also show young people that working in engineering can provide creative, stimulating and diverse work.

I feel especially proud that my work developing Gironex’s core technology and first products has me in the running for an award that specifically recognises the young engineers who are innovating early in their career – an award that helped to show me that, even at the beginning of their career, engineers can be more than just a cog in the machine."

Award winners will be announced at a gala lunch to be held at The Landmark London, on Friday 11th October.
