Double Shell Step success
Two of our students were awarded runner-up places at the Shell Step Regional Finals on 1 October.
Charlotte Fayle (BSc Biology) and Jonathan Hutchinson (BA Geography)
received awards for their outstanding achievements on work placement.
Charlotte worked for RCE Services, an electrical contractors, she created a viable energy reduction consultancy service for the company. The company expects that Charlotte's initial work and sales will increase their revenue by £597,000 within the first 12 months.
Jonathan undertook an energy efficiency review at Peter Ramsey & Sons, a timber manufacturing company. His in-plant savings will reduce the company's carbon footprint, reduce their impact on the environment and have made a substantial difference to the company's bottom-line.
