Alan Dick of SPE Aberdeen, who is set to host the awards ceremony on March 17, said: “Irina has done a fantastic job of designing and producing this year’s trophy, which reflects the themes of the 30th Offshore Achievement Awards – innovation, collaboration and creativity. I would like to thank Irina for all of her hard work, and I have no doubt that the winners will be thrilled to receive a trophy which has been so carefully thought out.”
Sian Mutch , senior corporate communications advisor at principal sponsor TAQA, said: “ The trophy design competition has once again been a great way to involve students and the local community in the awards. TAQA is pleased to have been involved in the competition, and I would like to congratulate Irina on a creating such a stand-out trophy.”
