Ambient Life win Best New Creative Business Award

We are really delighted to share with you that Ambient Life have this week been announced as the winner of the Best Creative New Business at the 2011 Annual Business Awards.
The awards are held each year in the North East and celebrate the best in new business across the region in categories such as marketing, innovation, creative industry, environment, and manufacturing.
The award dinner and ceremony were held this week and hosted by Wendy Gibson from the BBC.

Tim Wallace (founder of Ambient Life) “This is a fantastic achievement for Ambient Life and we are very proud indeed to have received this award, more so because it is awarded to us in our home area of the North East of England. I started the company 4 years ago with a very definite business plan to strive to create and promote the very best in commercial photography. 4 years on we are ahead of that plan and have some wonderful clients within our family such as Aston Martin, Land Rover, Morgan, and Kenwood. It has certainly been a roller coaster ride over the last few years and to get any business off the ground is hard work not at least in the current climate but I firmly believe that a mix of a firm but simple approach of offering a high quality product to our clients along with a sound business like approach has seen us gain a good hold in our market, and I hope this will continue to encourage our growth over the coming years with new exciting projects. You can never sit back and just wait for clients to come to you, the key for me is to find your own unique approach to market and be fully committed to achieving the best success that you can not only for your own business but for that of the businesses that you are connected and work within, promoting growth and success, small cogs that work together to achieve that exciting and inspirational end result.”

Motor industry awards 2010

Tonight saw the annual EEF Motor Industry Manufacturing Awards being held at the prestigious Merchant Taylors Building in Central London.

EEF is the most powerful force backing UK manufacturing. Powering its growth with potent thought leadership. Making it fit for the future be effective in the present with switched-on business services, and representing its interests at the heart of government. When manufacturing gets moving, EEF is its engine

Tim – “This is great honour and I am absolutely delighted to receive this from the Industry that we all care about so passionately within the UK. I shoot commercially for some of the very best names and traditions within the UK motor industry today such as Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, and Morgan. The car industry within our country has a very recognisable past but it is what we do today that makes the biggest difference in driving to forwards into a brighter tomorrow so that the UK can remain globally one of the driving forces within the automotive industry.

I was unfortunately not able to pick up the award myself as at that time I was in the air over Germany due to work commitments however I am very grateful to Aston who sent a colleague, Brian Spearman, on my behalf to pick up the award. It is something that I am very proud to receive and is testament to not only my work but also to the whole team and my clients themselves for allowing me the opportunity and vision to capture their product in my own may to promote their brands and Inspire clients all over the world.”
