ICP Networks were honoured at The Energy Awards 2014 for their eco-friendly global headquarters.

Managing Director Matt Archer and members of his team joined the star-studded line-up of the energy industry’s elite at London’s Hilton on Park Lane to celebrate their work in reducing their impact on the environment.

ICP Networks were finalists in the ‘Excellence in Demand Reduction’ award alongside multi-nationals N Power, Costain Group and Wessex Water for their work in creating Lexicon House.

Lexicon House is the result of intensive planning and a three-month build program converting a former warehouse shell into a stunning hi-tech eco-friendly global headquarters supporting customers around the world.

Honour

Matt Archer, said: “It was a great night and an honour for us to be even considered for such a prestigious award, especially when you consider the opposition we were up against in our category – a real David versus Goliath encounter.

“The building projects that we were pitted against in our category were really enormous projects, ranging from 150 to 450 times the size of our Lexicon House build but that fact that we were shortlisted proves we must be something right.

“We would like to offer our congratulations to Wessex Water for their success in securing the Excellence in Demand Reduction title for their work at Bridgwater Water Treatment Works, it was a very impressive project and they were worthy winners.

“The awards allow us to meet like-minded business and exchange ideas and insights into ways we can move forward and reduce our environmental impact even further and hopefully pass on some of our experience to others looking to make change.”

Wessex Water’s project at the Bridgwater Treatment Works has secured three awards for their £10 million scheme reducing waste a coastline sewage treatment works.
