YORhub has won the Social Value category of the RISE (Research Innovation Sustainability Enterprise) awards, to be presented at the International Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society (SEEDS) Conference held at Loughborough University in September. The award is for the organisation that best demonstrates its ability to bring value and benefit to society.

These highly regarded awards, co-hosted by Leeds Beckett University, The University of Suffolk, The University of the West of England, Bristol and Loughborough University, seek to recognise, celebrate and showcase exemplar case studies from the Built Environment. This is to share emerging best practice in Research, Innovation, Sustainability and Enterprise for new and innovative products, technologies, processes, projects and schemes.

Mike Raven, YORhub’s Performance & Improvement Manager said: “I’m very pleased that YORhub’s hard work on Social Value has resulted in a massive win at the RISE awards. Everyone knows how important it is for the public sector to consider social value as part of procurement. At YORhub, we want to get the right result for your project, do the best for your area, and crack on with the delivery.”

He continued: “We’re really proud as a founder of the NACF to deliver real outputs on our projects, working with academia and industry to try to make our bit of the world a better place.”
