Gravity awards Stroud business ‘Talick Group Ltd’ with Environmental Achievement Award

Gravity Programme Director, Paul Lowndes, was in attendance at the Somerset Business Awards 2022 finale organised by the Somerset Chamber of Commerce. The awards sought to recognise and celebrate the best of business within Somerset.

Paul Lowdnes was tasked with judging for the ‘Environmental Achievement Award’ for the second consecutive year, this year he decided to award it to ‘Talick Group’ for their holistic impact towards net-zero efforts. Paul was impressed by all the finalists.

It was a tough task to judge – three very competent and hugely impressive finalists. Talick Group was a first amongst equals! Huge respect for New Leaf Design and Somerlap, both worthy finalists and most unfortunate to come up against Talick who “won by a short nose” on the strength of their all round impact in driving progress in the green economy as a whole.

I’m already looking forward to see what the region can do next year. .

Paul Lowndes, Gravity Programme Director

I am extremely proud of our county’s businesses; we were all blown away by the quality of the entries and what Somerset’s businesses are achieving and producing.

“It was fantastic to be able to honour winners and finalists from all corners of the county and from a wide range of sectors and industries. Thank you to everyone who entered the awards and thank you to our judges and sponsors who continue to make these the biggest and best business awards in Somerset.”

Emma Rawlings, Executive Director of Somerset Chamber of Commerce
