HEATING specialists Worcester Bosch Group held its annual eco awards at Stanbrook Abbey, Callow End, with winners coming from all parts of the UK.

The company's E2020 Awards, which were founded by Worcester in 2000, are designed to promote best practice and reward those who have shown commitment to sustainable heating, hot water solutions and renewable technologies. There were winners in seven categories coming from as far apart at Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, Gwent and Lincolnshire.

Also receiving awards were three talented young artists who had each created a piece of art or photography to reflect the theme The Environment and The Home. Zaki Rynne (aged five) from Hampshire, Harry Stone (aged 10) from Bristol, and Niamh Ni Iceadha (aged 17) from Dublin, were awarded for their creativity in capturing their perceptions of the environment and creating unique art around energy efficiency and climate change. They each received £500 of shopping and leisure vouchers.

Sue Pennington, consumer brand manager at Worcester, Bosch Group said: “The artists who entered our competition have such great imaginations and it is always fantastic to see how they view the environment and the world around us. This year’s winners demonstrated an understanding of environmental issues beyond their years and they should be extremely proud of their creations.”

Martyn Bridges, director of marketing and technical support at Worcester, added: “The E2020 awards are our chance to celebrate the industry’s champions of efficient and renewable technologies. We have been impressed by the calibre of the entries this year from both our installers and artists, and it has been really inspiring to see so many people committed to protecting our planet for future generations.”
