The Value of Awards – Part III

So was all that effort worth it? The answer: definitely. The AMEC awards dinner was a success both in terms of the event itself, but also in recognising the excellent work being done across the industry by all member organisations.

As a company we won a record number of awards this year and feel very proud to have had our work recognised in this way. Thank you to all our clients who helped to put the award submissions together and we look forward to further developing our projects to ensure that we continue to deliver award winning evaluation.

So what were the highlights of the evening? Apart from the obvious collection of awards, for me personally it has to be helping Katie Paine find the girl with the ruby shoes…although it sounds difficult, and a rather bizarre undertaking, they did belong to the person sat next to me at the dinner. My reward for this was to be whisked around the dance floor by Ms Paine who noted that the Brits seem to be losing much of their famed reserve. I suggest that the hearty toasting of success may have played some part in this. I look forward to reading her take on the evening at http://kdpaine.blogs.com/. Hopefully the picture she took of the shoes will make it to a wider audience.

So we shall be back next year, ready to again challenge the best of the measurement industry, and hoping that our wall will be able to take the additional weight of more awards.
