Of course, we could have predicted that using Warp It would bring great recognition to its top users, but what about when it came to winning one of the UK’s most prestigious professional awards?

Let’s just say we were impressed. When we found out that it was Jude Hughes from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, who joined us for a wonderful interview earlier this year, we were not at all surprised.

Horsham District Council’s Commissioning and Performance and Sustainability teams won the Sustainability/Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year Award at the National Government Opportunities (GO) Excellence in Public Procurement Awards 2016/17. 

The team won for their innovative commissioning approach to the sustainable disposal of surplus office equipment when the council moved from its old premises to a new shared office space with West Sussex County Council in 2015.

Using Warp It, the commissioning project succeeded in disposing of a large amount of unwanted office contents without it having to go to landfill, greatly minimising the cost of disposal of the items.
