 The Uppingham Wifi Project has won two categories of this years East Midlands Action for Market Towns Awards.
The Uppingham First project, a partnership project with Rutland Telecom, had already won the Business and Economy section of the awards and Uppingham First representatives were attending the awards event to receive the project's certificate. At the close of the event however, it was announced that the project had also been judged to be the East Midlands most outstanding market town project for 2010 and therefore selected to represent the region in the Action for Market Towns (AMT) National Awards to be held in October. Directors Neil Hermsen and Ron Simpson are pictured receiving the awards from AMT Chair Catherine Hammant. Commenting on the project's selection to represent the East Midlands at the national awards, Uppingham First Chairman Robert Wills said, " We are delighted that our project has been recognised in this way. The national awards present the ideal opportunity to showcase Uppingham and Rutland as a desireable place to live, work and visit. We will do our best do be a good advocate for the East Midlands" For more information on Uppingham, the county of Rutland and the Wifi project contact
