David Denner (Asset Manager in our Cwmbran office) has won an award from the Institution of Lighting Engineers (ILE) for Best Regional Paper 2008. David's paper, "Street Lighting: An Engineer’s Perspective", discussed the evolving role of street lighting engineers in helping to maintain safe public highways in the face of ever decreasing budgets, greater demands from the community, increasing energy costs and changes in legislation.
Until recently, David was the Street Lighting Engineer at Caerphilly County Borough Council, responsible for the day to day management of the street lighting group. He has 18 years experience within the public sector, working for various local highway authorities in South Wales.
David has also been instrumental in the co-ordination of the energy tender for the South Wales consortium - which consists of all the Unitary Authorities in South Wales involved in the procurement of street lighting energy - along with the management of the consortium's photo cell array and associated software.
Well done David.
