Sponsor and Judge, Nikki Rousseau, Community Relations Manager at Sizewell B, said: “EDF Energy is delighted to support the East Suffolk Business and Communities Awards again this year. The STEM Award recognises those that are driving the advancement or application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths which is an area at the heart of EDF Energy’s business making it a perfect fit for our company.”
Sponsor and Judge, Debbie Ratcliffe from Ufford Park, added: “Having been a judge for the past three years, I am always very impressed by the high-standard of entries; from the more well-known larger companies, to the smaller businesses and individuals. This year is the first year entries have opened up to the whole of East Suffolk and so it was fantastic to read about some of the great things that are happening throughout the east coast.
“Judging is never as easy as it sounds and with such a large amount of entries this year, it was extremely difficult for us judges to pick out a winner for each category.”
