Arup, Imtech Aqua Ltd and IMA Cooling Systems have
been announced as winners of the Young Engineers Champions Awards 2010. Now in their second year,
the awards – sponsored by Baxi Commercial Division – recognise innovation in developing engineers of the future, and seek to reward those organisations that proactively champion industry’s young people. Rob Manning, CIBSE president,
said: ‘For our industry to be successful in meeting our targets we must attract the brightest and best to the industry and retain them. To do so needs the pledge of support from our industry leaders. ‘These awards reward those who
are supporting and encouraging young talent, and allow those organisations shortlisted to cement their reputation as a champion of young engineers.’ Also speaking at the event, Keith
Clarke, chief executive of Atkins, highlighted the challenge faced by the industry to meet the UK and

global emissions targets, stressing that this would only happen because of engineers. He said: ‘The UK has the best engineering reputation in the world. It’s an opportunity and time to relish and a time when engineering can come to the fore.’ Each of the winning companies
showed particular commitment to championing young people in the building services engineering industry, and to supporting them in employment and education. Arup won the award in the
large company category, and was recognised for its commitment to supporting and maintaining young engineers, despite difficult economic conditions. Imtech Aqua Ltd won the medium company category for a strong all round submission, with 30% of engineering staff developed through their own company, as well as being active in the community and local schools. IMA Cooling Systems took the small company trophy, with their sophisticated
and tailored training programme and their all round submission, which was seen to be particularly impressive for a company of its size. IMA Cooling Systems also won the overall category of ‘Champion of Champions’. Richard Corby, IMA’s service manager, said: ‘We are proud of what we’ve achieved in the last 10 years at IMA and recognise the continued need for young
engineers to come through the company and be supported.’ The winners each received
a trophy and £1,000 of CIBSE training vouchers. Each of the runners up, Anderson Green Ltd, CBG Consultants Ltd and Parsons Brinckerhoff (Asia) Limited, were commended for their commitment to supporting young engineers across the industry.
