Elite announces competition winner

After launching a new product competition with local university, Harper Adams, earlier this year, Elite Precast have announced engineering student, Will Creed as the winner.

The competition included Elite Precast visiting Harper Adams to start the competition, with Paul Cartwright and Louise Chouhan-Hodges explaining their current product profile, the manufacturing and quality processes of Elite’s concrete products and the requirements of any new product design.

This was followed by students visiting Elite’s three manufacturing units in Telford to see for themselves the machinery and processes that ensure the quality and durability of Elite’s walling, drainage and security products, including witnessing concrete blocks being manufactured for the Paris Olympics.

Will can be seen with Paul Cartwright, Business Development Director, visiting Elite’s office to discuss his winning product.

Paul said “Working with Harper Adams has been fantastic, Will has taken on the challenge of looking at concrete agri-products and designed a something that takes account of our production techniques, along with customer needs. We are looking forward to making and marketing his designs soon.”

As the winner of the competition, Will has received £1000.00 and the chance to have his entry produced and marketed by Elite Precast – more details to follow
