Judges comments: “A brilliantly simple idea that is developing rapidly under Calum’s management to become an essential tool for our industry. That little ball of putty will make a massive impact on leakage and customer satisfaction at super low cost.”
Calum added; “There have been many great innovations in the Midlands region this year, and it was a wonderful surprise when Seek-a-Leak was announced the winner. I have been immensely privileged to be involved with such a groundbreaking project so early in my career, and I am delighted that others share my passion and enthusiasm for Seek-a-Leak and our industry wide leakage challenge.
I would like to thank the Institute of Water for providing such a great platform to showcase innovation in the industry, and all the innumerable colleagues who have collaborated with me on this project and made winning this award possible.”
Thanks again to all of our #MidlandsArea entries.
