In 2016, HydroGardens V-Farm was nominated for a EEF Future Manufacturing Awards and HydroGarden took home the prize for “Manufacturing Innovation”. Despite tough competition from a variety of dynamic businesses from across the UK, judges were impressed with the innovation and drive to achieve sustainability and become carbon-neutral by using V-Farm systems.

Dick Elsy, Chief Executive at HVM Catapult– the Innovation Award sponsors, commented: “HydroGarden is a fantastic example of a company that has put innovation at the heart of its business. To do this you must understand what the market wants and then work hard to produce a product that delivers both practicality and ingenuity. Manufacturers lead the way in innovation, so to win this award is a great achievement.”
