The Ben Metcalfe Award for Progress in Technology

The South West Grid are proud to announce that nominations are now open for The Ben Metcalfe Award in Technology.

This new Award is for young people who have shown self-motivation, hard work and who have strived to achieve their best. They may have overcome a range of challenges and have the self-awareness to recognise weakness and abilities in themselves, plus the desire to learn and great initiative.
