Utility monitoring specialist HWM has won the Queen's Award for Enterprise 2017.
The Innovation award recognises HWM's PermaNET+ system, which constantly monitors water networks to detect signs of leakage. Able to detect a problem as soon as it occurs, the system significantly reduces both the size and impact of leaks, reducing damage to the network and saving water.
PermaNET+ was chosen for the largest ever deployment of leak noise detection equipment by Affinity Water. 20,000 units were installed to cover a water network serving over 3.6 million people.
Now in their 51st year, the Queen's Awards are the UK's most prestigious industry accolade, celebrating and encouraging business excellence in the UK.
The Innovation award is given to companies that have shown outstanding commercial success due to innovation over two years, or continuous commercial success over five years.
Winning the Queen's Award for Enterprise means HWM can now use the official emblem on all publications for five years, showcasing the best of British business.

- The threat of large-scale fly-tipping (article by Rob Symons, Operations Director, CRJ Services) Pollution
In 2022/23 there were 42,000 large fly-tipping incidents in England alone. This cost hard-pressed local authorities £13.2 million (compared to £10.7 million the previous year) and created a threat to human health, wildlife habitats and the wider environment. Defined as being at least one tipper lorry load in size, large fly-tipping incidents also create a barrier to land development, improvement and restoration.
