Summer usually signals the slow down of the engineering sector, but not at Cubik. Last week Paul Mullen (Managing Director) and Sophie Adams-Foster (Project Manager) attended the Institute of Directors South West, Director of the Year Awards.

Held at the wonderful Bordeaux Quay in Bristol City Centre, with guest speaker James Sproule (IoD, Chief Economist), it was a fantastic opportunity to meet other local business owners.

Simon Face (IoD, Regional Director), and his team at Bristol and Bath Science Park organised the event and Paul was stunned to have been Highly Commended in the Small Company Director Category.

Collecting his award from host Laura Rawlings and Richard Ayre (IoD, Regional Chairman), Paul commented: 

“I am shocked, but pleasantly surprised! I love what I do and have a fantastic team of people working alongside me at Cubik Innovation. The South West region is alive with vibrant businesses, it’s a great city to work in and these awards are a demonstration of the diversity of the local economy.”

Other winners included Julie Moore (Green Gourmet) who won Director of the Year, Neil Way (Managing Director, Jeff Way Electrical Services) voted Family Business Director and Vashti Seth (Director, Deki) who won Third Sector Director.

It was an excellent evening, and we look forward to meeting more local business owners at the next event.

Next up, we will be attending the Bristol Post Business Awards at The Engine Shed where we have been nominated for the Start Up Business of the Year Award. Boys, it’s time to break out your dinner jackets.
