More awards for world-renowned research and development company based on the Isle of Wight

Isle of Wight-based technology company, Innovative Physics, has won another award for its innovative work at this year’s Made in the South East Awards.

The Shanklin based company, a world-renowned research and development company specialising in sensor technology, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition, secured the Digital Engineering/Technology Award for 2022 – beating off stiff competition to receive its award at a prestigious event at the Sofitel, London Gatwick.

Cream of the region’s manufacturing sector
The Made in the South East Awards celebrate the cream of the region’s manufacturing sector and seek to recognise products, innovations and ideas from organisations that have built reputations for their high-quality products and services and the skills of the people they employ.

The company, which works predominantly in the international nuclear, medical and homeland security sectors, had submitted an entry in respect of its work in nuclear radiation detection, specifically the use of its ground-breaking gamma camera. 

A range of customised devices
The portable device is capable of identifying and grading radiation activity quickly and effectively, limiting exposure to radiation and saving time and money in the process.  The company has also developed a range of customised devices providing bespoke solutions for its clients’ challenges.

Commenting on their win, the judges said they were “impressed that Innovative Physics has developed world-class technology and equipment at a rapid, cost-effective rate, providing its customers with a strong competitive edge”.

Harvey: Excited to be flying the flag for the Island
Business Development Executive Halina Harvey (pictured) said on collecting the award,

“We’re delighted to have been recognised for this award and for the technology that we have created.  We are very proud of our Island and UK roots and of what we have been able to achieve with our international client base and are excited to be flying the flag for the Island at the Made in the UK Grand Finale in June 2023.

“We have taken on more software engineers this year and we are currently expanding our client base in South Korea and the USA.”

Another example of the fine art of the bureaucratic two-step to aid a “Preferred Bidder”.

Are we really to believe that the Preferred Bidder would go away from this juicy contract if there was a delay?

This is just another version of the old sales ploy “If you don’t buy it now, the price will go up!” used by doorstep salesmen the world over!

Why don’t these people speak English? Can it be because they don’t want to be understood? There was once a Plain English movement, but clearly it has yet to affect the Council’s petty bureaucrats.

Agree entirely. You just know that when they use words like ‘disapplication’ that there’s a fudge involved. Why not just say it’s cancelled?

Beware of any intiative that talks about “engineering solutions” or anyone who says “going forward”.

For those who may have missed it, the proposed change to a discredited PFI road maintenance contract for 25 years is not yet a certainty. As I said to those responsible, in the days when it was still possible to ask awkward questions at public council meetings, when will this council start taking it’s duty to taxpayers seriously? Why should only a few here today, gone tomorrow… Read more »

I wonder what the National Audit Office’s view would be on a multi-million, 25 years contract being decided by “Delegated Decision” and avoiding scrutiny?

One notes that the “Business Plan” was not attached to the “disapplication” (sic!) decision.

This report clearly says ‘submit the final business case to the Department of Transport.’ Does this mean this is not yet a done deal, despite the previous claims of the council?

A £1bn project, paid for by taxation & borrowing. Then more taxation to pay for the borrowing, more cuts to things like education or health & more disposal of assets whose revenue cannot keep pace with the repayments demanded of the taxation & borrowing. For what? Is it within the purview of any of the elected members to explain how, in the modern world this project can… Read more »

The concept of odious debt [which is repudiated later because it is deemed taken on without consent] – much like of vaunted ‘PFI’ is described in the case of Greece in the excellent documentary “Debtrocracy”

Does the chancellor of the exchequer read VB? The headline in the Independent online today ‘Osborne’s latest plan: ask Britain’s savers for money’ Treasury to fund infrastructure projects by selling us ‘growth bonds’ suggest he might. If we recalibrate the PFI deal, strip out the ridiculous finance costs the provider (us eventually) will have to stump up, bring the project back to something approaching excitingly large but… Read more »

Well in this case, i’ll wager the price will go up regardless.

Having run major multimillion projects in my former professional life, I know two things from experience. Firstly, central and local government are incapable of defining the project tightly enough, leading to inevitable contract changes that always increase the price. In fact, the negotiating strategy of some companies is to win the public service contract with a low price, knowing full well that they can make up the… Read more »
