The winners of The Engineer's 2018 Collaborate to Innovate (C2I) awards were presented with their prizes at a ceremony which took place in London yesterday (6 November).
C2I, for which Frazer-Nash is the headline sponsor, aims to discover and celebrate the great examples of engineering collaboration that are solving the challenges and problems faced by society.
Frazer-Nash's Engineering Director, Chris Guyott, who was also involved in the judging process, opened the evening's proceedings (pictured above). Chris suggested that the innovations entered into the C2I competition are changing lives and changing the future; and that the complementary skills and experience brought by each member of a collaborative team is essential for a successful outcome.
