The inaugural Harry Lovell Award was recently awarded to Sarah Squire, Product Development Manager, Recochem, Queensland who achieved the highest final exam/dissertation results in the Diploma of Packaging Technology in Australasia.
The award honours and recognises Emeritus Professor Harry Lovell’s commitment and significant contribution over twenty five years to education and training in the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) and in particular with the Diploma of Packaging Technology in Australasia.
Lovell presented Squire with her award in a surprise presentation at the Recochem offices, with over 30 people in attendance.
"Packaging Technologists play such an important role in the current environmental debate and having young, smart, passionate and informed persons such as Sarah will play a key role in pin-pointing the important issues and doing something about them in their place of employment and the wider field," Queensland AIP’s Vice Chairman Greg Windsor said.
Sarah was excited about receiving the award and encouraged more packaging industry personnel to undertake the Diploma.
"I am very pleased to be the recipient of the Harry Lovell award (and) would like to thank Recochem for giving me the opportunity to complete this Diploma," Squire said.
"The packaging industry is an exciting industry; it’s dynamic, fun, highly technical, and always changing.
"I recommend this Diploma to anyone in the packaging industry wanting to improve their packaging knowledge and I am looking forward to completing more studies in this area."
