Inside2Outside Managing Director, Dr. Robert Carpenter was on handd to present Inca, a company made up of pupils from Kimbolton School with the Sustainability Award at the Young Enterprise Programme Awards for the East of England held in Wyboston, Bedforshire on the 27 April.
Inside2Outside have been designing, manufacturing and installing canopies since 1991. In 2009 they launched a new brand - Power2Outside - dedicated to sustainability, which combines their canopies with Organic Photovoltaics and produces renewable energy. OPV is the third generation of Solar Power Panels and its tehnology is set to revolutionise the Solar Power Industry. Inside2Outside agreed to sponsor the sustainability award as part of its promotion of sustainability.
The Young Enterprise Programme encourages AS Level students to form companies, market and sell their own products and then see the results of their efforts and recieve awards for their achievement. Inca from Kimbolton were the winners of this year's Sustainability Award and Dr. Robert Carpenter proudly presented them with the award in recognition of their excellent work.
Dr. Carpentre commented 'the Young Enterprise Programme has been running for 45 years and provides an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn their trade.'
Richard Harpin, CEO of Homeserve gave the keynote speech, which no doubt had a positive and compelling affect on those listening. Richard founded Homeserve which now has a turnover of £1bn. The speech would have been of particular interest as Richard started his entrepreneurial activities when doing his )-Levels, running a mailorder company.
Dr Carpenter concluded 'the sustainability award is an important addition to the awards this year. It is designed to encourage sustainability to be considered at the earliest stages of all enterprises.' The evening went well, and Inside2Outside were proud to be part of the evening.
