These are proper, grown up awards.
The IET can trace their history as far back as 1854 with the Society of Engineers (SoE). The Society of Engineers was established in May 1854 in The Strand, London, it was the third oldest professional engineering body in the UK. In 2005 the SoE was absorbed into the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) and then later in 2006 the IIE merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) to form the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) and now has 154,000 engineering and technology professionals in 148 countries.
We are double finalists, in both the Sustainability and Start-up-of-the-year categories. The competition is deeply technical and engineering based from all over the world, and I’m super proud that the judges considered us against some outstanding organisations driving real change.
