Queen's Award Celebration
On Friday 2nd of July, the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire visited Tubney Woods to formally present the Queen's Award for Enterprise:Innovation to NanoScience, and the Triton200 team. Honoured guests included Sir Martin and Lady Wood; local MP Ed Vaizey, Minister of Culture, Communication and the Arts; the High Sheriff of Oxfordshire and members of the local councils. Nigel Keen, our Chairman, and 2 members of the Board, Mike Hughes and Jock Lennox were also present.
This Award was the 5th that NanoScience has won and the 11th that Oxford Instruments has won. All the speeches remarked on what an incredible achievement this is, and how the spirit of innovation is still alive and kicking throughout the company. It was a proud day for everyone.
