Green Business Awards 2010: John Chesshire Award
Winner - Peter Thom
The John Chesshire Award, in honour of the late John Chesshire, has been created to recognise an outstanding contributor to the improvement of energy efficiency in the UK.
The inaugural winner is Peter Thom, managing director of Cambridge-based Green Heat, described in his nomination as 'a dedicated environmentalist who has worked consistently over the past two decades to raise awareness of energy efficiency within the domestic sector'.
Thom's outstanding achievements include having been a pioneer of both condensing boilers and the concept of home energy audits, each of which has made a significant contribution to bringing heating and energy efficiency to our homes. He was also active in the consultation that led to the specification of boiler efficiencies being incorporated in building regulations.
