The founder and Managing Director of G&H Sustainability has been shortlisted in the prestigious Yorkshire Young Achievers Awards.
Andrew Hudson is in the running to win the Achievement in Management and Enterprise category for his efforts developing the sustainability division of the G&H Group.
The award recognises the best examples of entrepreneurial spirit and management skills needed to succeed in today’s business environment.
Judges were impressed with 28-year-old Andrew’s vision to approach the G&H Group in 2011 with the idea of setting up a sustainability business specialising in low carbon building technologies.
This was coupled with continuing his education, having spent the last two years studying for a M. Eng in Building Services Engineering and graduating from Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Small Businesses programme.
Andrew also devotes time to the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers, meeting and helping engineering students at Leeds Beckett University and Leeds Building School.
The success of G&H Sustainability really shines through with Andrew instrumental in the business securing work with clients including Asda, First Group and Harrogate Grammar School while forging excellent working relationships with Balfour Beatty, Hobson Porter and ISG Construction.
The business offers building contractors and consulting engineers a complete range of advisory, design, project management and installation services.
Low carbon systems include solar photovoltaic panels, solar thermal, biomass boilers, ground and air source heat pumps, combined heat and power plants, wind turbines, rain and grey water harvesting and control and energy reduction strategies.
Andrew will learn if he has won the award at a gala dinner at Leeds United Centenary Pavilion on 20 November.
