Richard Soper, managing director of Worcester Bosch, the heating product specialists, has been presented with the ‘Champions Award’ at the British Renewable Energy Association (REA) Awards.
He received his accolade at a gala ceremony at the Café Royal in London, presented by comedian Bill Bailey and BBC Environmental correspondent, Sarah Mukherjee.
Key things that impressed the judges were the creation of initiatives which reward industry students, colleges and apprentices to encourage the future generation of installers to continue with their studies.
Soper was also commended for setting up the Environment 2010 Awards (now Environment 2020) to promote and reward installers, housebuilders, housing associations and local authorities for environmentally friendly and renewable heating and hot water installations.
