Pioneering Isle of Wight company Innovative Physics is celebrating a remarkable double success at the prestigious 2022 British Engineering Excellence Awards (BEEAs), held at the Landmark Hotel, London.
The Shanklin-based company was named the overall Grand Prix winner at the awards having earlier also won the new ‘High Impact Innovator of the Year’ category.
Marks a particular high point for the company
Though no stranger to winning industry awards, the double success at the BEEA’s marks a particular high point for the company which specialises in evolving technologies including sensor technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and pattern recognition.
With around a dozen employees, Innovative Physics works to solve complex science and engineering challenges.
It has been involved in many significant, wide-ranging projects from aiding nuclear decontamination including at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to identifying security risks at airports and developing techniques that will help speed up the process of detecting cancer.
‘A strong contributor delivering real innovation to important markets’
The BEEA judges called Innovative Physics, ‘a strong contributor delivering real innovation to important markets’.
They added,
“As an SME competing with more established and well-known companies in the international nuclear industry, the trading challenges have been significant. But IPL has overcome these by producing innovative products faster and by offering alternative ways for clients to acquire its technologies.”
Abbott: An achievement of which we are particularly proud
Innovative Physics General Manager, Robert Abbott, said,
“To win two awards, including the overall Grand Prix, really was a special moment for the company and its dedicated employees.
“Once again, we were pleased to fly the flag for Isle of Wight innovation on the national stage. We were up against some very strong competition including companies much larger than our own so this is an achievement of which we are particularly proud.”
Shortlisted for International Business of the year
The company may also not have to wait long for its next accolade having been shortlisted in the International Business of the year category for this year’s FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards in the South East event on Friday (25th March).
