Congratulations to the worthy winners of the Dunelmsis Award with whome Carl shares this year’s honour. It is incredible to see the voluntary work around the globe which supports the development of Durham University.
On behalf of Coltraco Ultrasonics we would like to thank Durham University. For the experiences of all the Alumni who cherished their time studying, to the the current collaboration with the Physics Department, notably Professor Chadwick and Dr Halliday who enabled and encouraged our initial efforts. We not only engage with Physics, but also the Business School, and welcome students from diverse disciplines including Computer Science, Theology, Archaeology, Geology, Mathematics etc.
It is an absolute privilege to work in this mutually beneficial way, to offer professional development opportunities to the students and to engage in truly innovative, first-in-the-world type technological innovations for our ultrasonics.
We would like to thank the Vice Chancellor, Mr Harston, Ms Bradshaw and all the special people we have the pleasure of engaging with throughout the last few years which has led us to this point today.
Thank you for recognising the work of our CEO Carl Hunter OBE with this unique honour.
We will continue to serve Durham University’s commitment to intellectual excellence through our Student Engagement Programme for many years to come.
Our commitment to the Northern Powerhouse was stimulated by our connection to Durham which we will strengthen in 2021 with a particularly exciting new venture – to be released in Spring 21!
