“Amey in Hampshire were thrilled to win the Corporate Social Responsibility category at the Solent Business Awards 2016. We saw this as an acknowledgement of our whole team and the commitment they have shown to making a difference to the lives of local people. We are very proud of the work we do in the local community especially our work with charities, community groups and young people. Winning this award has certainly encouraged us to continue and increase our corporate social responsibility activities. I would encourage companies to enter these excellent awards – you won’t regret it.”
