WELCOME TO EnergyAce’s annual Summer intern, Amelle Bradai from Lyons. The 18 year old International Trade student, here in the North for 8 weeks, says she’s finding the projects interesting; she is currently comparing markets in England and France for the EnergyAce A4 for Home product. This includes looking at electricity consumption and market size for domestic, commercial & industrial sectors. “The atmosphere in the office is great, really convivial (génial!)” says Amelle.

EnergyAce Financial Director, Eileen Vizard, adds: “Young people need to learn about work – this is Amelle’s first time away from home alone. We are delighted to offer her an opportunity to gain experience in our industry.”

WE’RE IN THE FINALS – 5 TIMES! We’ve been nominated for Manufacturer of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year and Best Small Business in the finals of Lancashire’s Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs,) our region’s premier awards. The BIBA judges will visit our business onsite imminently, to get a first-hand look and feel of how we operate.

Apart from the excitement, and the prestige, if we triumph at the BIBAs, we’ll join the Winners’ Academy and enjoy leadership masterclasses at Lancaster University Management School (LUMS), which have previously included:

• Sir Chris Bonington, British mountaineer, conqueror of Everest

If that was not enough, we are up for the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA) awards in the category of Best Innovative Contractor and ECA Contractor of the Year.
