- by

Thank you to those who entered our AGS Early Careers Workplace Innovations poster competition. We received some wonderful submissions, each with their own unique take on the competition brief.

The judges, Vivien Dent (AGS Chair, Environment Agency), Sally Hudson (AGS Past-Chair, Coffey Geotechnics), Alex Lee (AGS Chair-Elect, HKA) and Geraint Williams (Contaminated Land WG Leader, HKA) had the challenging task of judging the entries, but we’re pleased to announce that Luqman Ismail (Jacobs) came out on top with his poster which focused on drone-based survey techniques.

Congratulations to Luqman – he won a Selfridges hamper, entry to the AGS Annual Conference plus a double page spread within AGS Magazine, showcasing his entry and inspiration behind the poster.

Thank you to all those who took the time to submit an entry – they were all showcased at the AGS Annual Conference and viewed by our 240 attending delegates.
