In addition to prize money, Ashden offers winners a package of benefits and tailored support designed to help organisations scale up their work; a platform to promote their work; media materials and access to Ashden’s prestigious Alumni Network.

Willis Renewable Energy Systems won an Ashden Award in 2010 for developing a plumbing innovation that speeds up and simplifies the retrofitting of solar water heating in existing homes, so saving the cost and carbon impact of buying a new water tank.
