Two Inspiral clients were honoured at the inaugural Sheffield Telegraph Environment Awards in October.

Sustainable Building Solutions; part of the High Growth Start-Up programme, won the Innovation award for their energy-saving builders’ products.

Another high growth client, Bag It Don’t Bin It, was a runner-up in the same category. The eco-business produces cotton and jute branded shopping bags with the aim of getting people to stop using harmful plastic bags.

“We’re really proud of the achievements of Sustainable Building Solutions and Bag It Don’t Bin It,” says Inspiral’s enterprise advisor Chris Baker. “Hopefully they will inspire more of our high growth clients to enter awards, to achieve the wider recognition they deserve.”
