The Technical Award For Innovation & Excellence: Science & Technology
Originally, this award for specialist glass development was to be presented every five years. The first presentation was at the Mansion House Banquet on 28.10.1980.
In fact, the award has been presented whenever a new development has been considered worthy. The winners have been as follows:
