Sign manufacturer sponsors Next Generation Awards 2024

Burton based sign manufacturer Hardy Signs recently sponsored an award category at the Generation Next Awards 2024.

Held at the Bustler Market in Derby, Hardy Signs sponsored the Innovation and Technology Award.

This year’s recipient of the award was Elizabeth Ashton, a research associate at Loughborough University.

Elizabeth’s groundbreaking work truly exemplifies the spirit of innovation and technological excellence that we strive to support and celebrate.

Marketing manager Blu hardy said: “Elizabeth absolutely blew us away.

“Elizabeth and the team at Loughborough University have received over 12 million pounds in project-based grants to build and operate a lead-acid battery electrolyser to achieve high-efficiency green hydrogen production.

“Not only is this a huge breakthrough for the University, as they are the first organisation to undertake this development, but the team have global project partners to deploy a lead-acid battery in every microgrid in Africa, which will deliver major economic, environmental and societal benefits.

“Congratulations Elizabeth and good luck with the next steps of the project.”
