Lord Stafford Recognises Hill Holt Wood KTP Success
Thursday night saw the finals of the prestigious Lord Stafford Awards at the Epic Centre, Lincoln where a delighted Karen Lowthrop and Rangers picked up the award for Innovation for Sustainability. “This award means a lot to the staff, learners, trustees and partners of Hill Holt Wood and we thank Lord Stafford for recognising our hard work.”
The award, given in recognition of the business that demonstrates and contributes to sustainable development (economically, environmentally and socially) while creating links with universities in the East Midlands region, was bestowed upon Hill Holt Wood in face of stiff competition from around the region.
Lord Stafford commented on the award “Hill Holt, in particular, was one of the most memorable judging visits I have ever been on and the way in which they have used innovation in every aspect of their enterprise should be used as a national model of best practice. It will take a lot to beat the class of 2009.”
Hill Holt Wood has enjoyed a mutually beneficial and award winning Knowledge Transfer Partnership with The University of Lincoln since 2004 and continues to forge links with the Department of Architects and the Business School.
