The great and the good convened last night at a black-tie dinner in Manchester, UK, for the 2010 Chemicals Northwest Awards. The aim? To highlight the efforts of local companies to ensure that the region remains the largest chemical producing area in the country.
Among the nervous nominees were three shortlisted for the new Young Achiever in the North West Chemical Sector category. It was won by Croda Europe's Paul Staniland for his scientific achievements and his role as a lead ambassador for Croda's community projects.
Chemicals Northwest CEO, Jenny Clucas, said: "Again, companies have proven that they are still investing in skills, innovation and sustainable development in order to improve their businesses and that they have not dropped corporate social responsibility activities from their agendas."
Tony Bastock, group managing director Contract Chemicals and Chemicals Northwest chairman, added: "The chemical industry employs more than 50,000 people in the region and it these individuals who are developing business and promoting the chemical industry.
"We are delighted to be able to acknowledge the hard work of people like Paul Staniland and the staff at RS Clare and hope it inspires others to step up to the mark."
Liverpool-based RS Clare & Company scooped the Chemicals Northwest Company of the Year award.
