The presentation ceremony was a great way for the whole company and guests to enjoy the celebrations and be recognised for their success. Proteus technology was demonstrated, and real-time technology innovation showcased on the day.
Now in its 56th year, The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards Emblem for the next five years. It is an internationally recognised symbol of excellence that will get your business noticed.
Why did you apply for the Queens Awards?
Proteus Instruments, a trading division of RS Hydro has achieved incredible success over the last few years winning flagship projects across the world and regularly achieving world firsts for applications.
Proteus Instruments was set up in 2018 and is the world’s first scientifically proven real-time sensor platform to accurately and reliably measure BOD, COD, TOC and Coliforms in a wide range of water quality, environmental and industrial applications.
Proteus represents a break-through disruptive technology that can change our whole perception of organic load monitoring. It has the power to touch all of our lives but will only happen if innovation is allowed to flourish; that means being open minded and believing that there are better and more meaningful ways to monitor parameters such as BOD5 and coliforms. Rob Stevens, Proteus Instruments, Managing Director
At Proteus we believe the tide is turning and that Proteus will be pivotal in helping the world to protect its people, its resources, and its environments. We are actively working with organisations such as the UN, World Bank, Water Companies, Environmental Regulators, Innovation Facilitators, and our distributors to spread the word. Rob Stevens, Proteus Instruments, Managing Director
What has winning the Queen's Awards meant for your business?
Proteus Instruments are honoured to win the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: Innovation. The entire team at RS Hydro and Proteus Instruments are passionate about what they do. The Award can help in raising awareness of important issues in helping to monitor our rivers and bathing waters.
Only 14% of the UK’s rivers meet good ecological status;
so, by promoting this awareness and combining it with this innovation, we will not only be able to monitor the water quality of our water resources more effectively, but we will also be able to manage them, not just in the UK but globally.
The presentation ceremony was a great way for the whole company to join together and showcase to the world what innovative technology Proteus is, and in winning the Queen's Awards the team felt their hard work had been recognised.
