David Robinson, chief executive officer of PD Ports, has been
appointed Regional Ambassador for HRH
The Prince of Wales for his leadership in convening businesses to
help improve the skills and aspirations
of young people on Teesside. His award was announced by the Prince
of Wales in a video recorded
address during the Business in the Community awards ceremony, held
at the Centre for Life in
Newcastle.
The Awards for Excellence, run by the Prince of Wales’ charity
Business in the Community, commends
the best examples of business as a force for good. This year
Business in the Community celebrates 30
years of supporting and encouraging businesses to transform their
businesses and the communities in
which they live and operate.
The 2012 Awards recognise the powerful and positive role that
business is playing in the North East by
awarding companies for the impact and innovation of their
responsible business programmes across a
number of categories.
Commenting on the event, Karen Wilkinson-Bell said: “Each year I
am thoroughly inspired by the
amazing examples of what businesses are doing in the North East to
incorporate responsible business in
all they say and do. Our winners show great leadership and
willingness to genuinely transform their
businesses and the communities in which they operate. The ‘win
win’ to both business and society when
businesses think and act differently is key for all organisations on this
journey.”</DIV></BODY></HTML>
