Richard from Bronze Labs Invited to Meet the Queen

This month Richard Howells, CEO of Bronze Software Labs, was invited to meet the Queen at a Buckingham Palace garden party in recognition of contribution to British Innovation.

Richard founded ‘The Tribe Project’, a digitally centred initiative to directly tackle national care inequality. Tribe uses geospatial datasets combined with machine learning to identify care ‘dark patches’ across the UK. These localities represent areas where it is no longer economically viable for care companies to operate and where thousands of vulnerable citizens are struggling to maintain a basic quality of life.

The Tribe Project up-skills people within care dark patches to become certified carers whilst simultaneously growing community social action. The technology provides an over-arching digital solution through which Local Government can commission help directly to vulnerable people seeking care. The Tribe Project has also won the ‘UK Social Impact Award’ from the Social Tech Trust.

Pictured is Richard at the garden party with his Mother Hazel Howells, who was the inspiration for starting the project.

AP Architecture Scoop Award

AP Architecture, tenants of EIC, have recently won a prestigious accolade at the Pinders Healthcare Design Awards. The event, now in its 20th year, aims to recognise outstanding design in the care sector. In a ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, where over 600 people were in attendance, AP took home one of the six gongs.

Company Director Paul Burton said: “AP Architecture are delighted to be winners of the Pinders Heathcare Design Awards 2019, Best New Care Home Elderly (Lower), with Willowbrook Care Home, Perry Barr, which was designed to be a centre of excellence in the treatment and care of older residents with dementia and mental health disorders.”

“It was a pleasure working alongside Mr Paul Willis of Willowbrook Care, who had great expectations for the home, and was committed to developing an aspirational place to live and work, which has also been recognised by CQC, with them rating the home as Outstanding.”

“AP Architecture have previously had two other projects as finalists in these awards, and this is the icing on the cake for the practice and the team behind such an outstanding project.”

Congratulations to AP Architecture from everyone at EIC for this amazing achievement!
