UKSPA 25th Anniversary Awards

Award Winners The UKSPA 25th Anniversary Awards Gala Dinner of Celebration, attended by 250 international UKSPA members and guests, took place on the evening of Thursday, 17th September 2009 at the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI), Manchester. The Awards recognised and celebrated the achievements of everyone associated with the Science Park movement in the UK over the past 25 years, ie. businesses, our affiliates, agencies, partners, and tenants. The awards championed environmental sustainability, wider contribution to Science Park growth, the most successful projects and companies, and specifically celebrated best practice in the Science Park movement. In order to highlight the broadest cross section of UKSPA's work, we put together five categories, which were sufficiently broad to encourage as many entries as possible.
