First of all, congratulations! Can you remind us what the award was recognising?
Jack: Thank you! I was nominated by someone external to ÌÇÐÄTV, who I have worked with for a number of years. The nomination was for my work pushing change, encouraging sign-ups, and securing commitments from companies and institutions.
How was the day itself?
Jack: It was fun! The event was held at Burlington House, the Royal Society of Chemistry in London during a Technician Commitment relaunch event. I gave a short presentation on the work that I do and then received my award from Dr Kelly Vere MBE and Dr Helen Pain MBE, CEO of the RSC. The location was great, there were really interesting statues of famous chemists and there was a drinks reception afterwards where I got a chance to network with all the other technical staff attending the event.
And what did it mean to you personally to collect the award?
Jack: It was great to be part of the event and to see the momentum building across the sector. Being acknowledged in this way really reinforces the importance of the work we’re doing and it felt really rewarding that my efforts had been recognised.
