Business Innovation 2016
WINNER
Ramboll Environ

International Firm Business Excellence Award
WINNER
SLR Consulting
The judges were very impressed at SLR's efforts to internationalise what was previously a UK-centric business over the past few years, whilst it is also equally impressive that SLR has continued to see growth recently in some highly constrained sectors, notably in the oil & gas business, indicating adaptability and agility during the current challenging global market conditions.

WINNER

The EA judging panel felt this application demonstrated Jon's strong commercial acumen in managing and turning around quite a diverse business unit in difficult circumstances and adapting the offering to changing market conditions, partly through reaching out and exploring collaborative partnerships.
