Florence Hinton wins CoolLED’s ‘Nick Edwards Gold Award’ 2022!
In memory of our founder, each year CoolLED celebrates our team spirit and presents The Nick Edwards Gold Award (NEGA) to one deserving team member.
The award itself is unique, constructed from our LED microscope lighting components and crafted by one of our old colleagues.
This award embodies Nick’s commitment to the company. We look for someone who shares this commitment, stretches themselves, solves challenges with innovative solutions, comes up with great ideas or shows a high level of commitment.
Most importantly, the award is for someone who has proven to be an invaluable asset to the CoolLED team.
This year, we’re congratulating Florence Hinton from Business Support!
She received many nominations from colleagues right across the company, complimenting her “can do” attitude, and the way she takes ownership of tasks. She also frequently goes above & beyond, and brings a positive and cheery disposition to the office. Well done, Flo!
We’d also like to share a few honourable mentions:
Dinos for being an engineer extraordinaire and making CoolLED a happier place when he is present
Lisa H (Business Support) for ensuring others are okay, even when she is tied down within her own work
Isy (Marketing) for her dedication to growing CoolLED’s technical resources, which have come on such a long way since she has been with the company.

The award ceremony took place at the annual staff away day where we had a chance to let our hair down, have some fun (and get slightly competitive) with team events!
