Details should be submitted of the part played by the partner, and the entry should elaborate on how working together has been advantageous. Data, or other information to show whether this has helped with wood recycling rates, would be useful for this category;

The category is open to those who work at all sizes of operations;
- Energy Development of the Year This award will recognise the development of a product or facility to make use of waste wood for energy. This award seeks to recognise a growing market and will be for a development within the UK;
- Quality Product of the Year The award for quality product of the year will be given to the company which has produced a specific, general or even bespoke product for the market, large or small. Evidence of sales will be required, and feedback from purchasers would be appropriate to show that the quality level has been achieved over a reasonable period of time.
