June 2011:
Fountain Design Ltd have booked EWTEC 2011 tickets.
Our MD, Mike Galbraith, is gearing up to attend the 9th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) to be held between the 5th-9th September at the University of Southampton.
Mike attended the last EWTEC event (held in 2009 in Uppsala, Sweden) where a paper was presented by the University of Edinburgh on the development of C-Gen Technology, a topic close to the heart of Fountain Design due to our past and present involvement in constructing the prototype generators housing the technology.
Mike is very much looking forward to networking at the upcoming event, so if you should be attending yourself and have any ongoing or future projects that we may be able to help you with or you just fancy a chat, please feel free to seek him out.
