We are proud to be sponsoring the Eco Award category at the prestigious Shropshire Chamber Business Awards 2025, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!
As one of the largest and most successful events of its kind in the UK, more than 15,000 people have attended the awards since they began in 2001. This year’s silver anniversary ceremony promises to be the biggest, brightest, and most exciting yet.
Organised by Shropshire Chamber of Commerce, the awards are open to all businesses based in Shropshire or Telford & Wrekin – not just Chamber members. The Eco Award recognises environmentally aware businesses that are championing sustainable innovation through products, services, processes, or technology.
Entries for the Eco-Award will be judged against the following criteria:
- Embracing green technology to reduce carbon footprint
- Promoting or producing eco-friendly products and services
- Demonstrating a cross-company commitment to sustainability
- Delivering measurable improvements in both environmental and commercial performance
- Supporting staff development, wellbeing, and long-term sustainability
Our Construction Director, Jamie Evans, will be joining the 2025 judging panel, visiting shortlisted businesses across the county to witness their environmental impact first-hand. His involvement reflects our own commitment to sustainable development, aligned with one of our core company values. You can read more about our ongoing efforts in our Carbon Emissions and Decarbonisation Strategy Report.
Finance Director, Charlotte Davies presented the Community Champion award in last year’s award ceremony.
Our Managing Director, Steven Owen, shared his thoughts on this year’s partnership:
“Sponsoring the Eco Award is a natural fit for us as we continue to drive forward our own environmental goals and support other businesses in Shropshire on their sustainability journey. These awards are a powerful platform for recognising and celebrating the businesses making a real difference in Shropshire and beyond.
We’re proud to play a part in shining a spotlight on innovation that benefits both business and the planet.”
As part of this year’s celebrations, our Managing Director, Steven Owen and Commercial Director, Victoria Lawson, will be speaking at the Connectin Business Expo on Thursday 10th April at the Mercure Telford Centre Hotel, delivering a presentation on the impact of supporting the Shropshire Chamber Business Awards and reflecting on our journey since being named Company of the Year in 2019.
We look forward to seeing you there and sharing what we’ve been up to – make sure to drop by for a chat after the presentation!
