Boost intern wins local STEP award !

This morning I went along to the event where all the local area STEP students (Shell Technology Enterprise Programme) present their Summer internship projects. We were extremely proud that our student (Ahmed Mulla) won the local area competition and will now be a finalist in the regional competition.

Ahmed has been doing several pieces of research for us over the past two months, and prior to that provided holiday cover for us whilst one of our regular technicians went off on honeymoon for a month. Ahmed is an electrical engineering student studying at Cambridge University and he has been doing a series of structured projects for us in the field of renewable and distributed energy. Please excuse me if I don't give further details !

We were especially pleased because we had not even given him much assistance with the presentation of his project. At Boost we encourage, but give everybody room to learn - in his case he has done us proud. Well done Ahmed.

You can read more about Ahmed's experiences as an intern on our careers page - look down at the bottom for details of the job description, our evaluation of all the candidates who applied before the deadline, and Ahmed's comments on his time with us.
