Jo Montgomery, Director General, the Thames Gateway, said:
' Future Vision is a fantastic vehicle to tap into aspiring talent. Regine's idea creates a great vision for the future of our docklands and captures the essence of economic, social and environmental renewal.'

Regine was one of five winners announced at the awards ceremony, staged in conjunction with the 'Creating the Future- the ASC Awards for Sustainable Communities', the Government's national award scheme for sustainable communities. Each winner was rewarded with a cash prize and a four-week work placement at leading organisations: ARUP; Asset Skills; Gentoo; Hemingway Design; and the Thames Gateway.   

Gill Taylor, ASC Chief Executive, said:
'I'd like to congratulate the award winners on their achievements. Coming up with new, workable ideas that haven't been done before isn’t easy whatever industry you work in'
