It was a great opportunity for the Ayres Team to come together in Paris and accept the JEC Innovations Award for 2008. We had representatives from the USA, Australia, Belgium and the UK. It was a proud moment when Colin Ayres and Graham Cameron along with Alan Beeston from Thermal Ceramics stepped up to receive the award. Our other partner in the Innovations Award, Golbeck & Gunton were unable to attend but sent their congratulations. For the Aussies it was particularly proud moment as the award was presented by Mr. David Ritchie, Australia's Ambassador to France.
