Two of Aptella's senior leaders have won prestigious awards at Topcon Positioning Systems' recent Tech Xperience event held in San Ramon, California, USA.
The Topcon Spirit of Excellence Award has a long history of recognising pioneers in the construction industry that have made significant contributions and helped to shape it into what it is today.
This year it was awarded to Harry Katsanevas, a founder of Aptella, who was recognised for his relentless drive, energy and passion for the industry, Aptella's customers, and its people.
Topcon Positioning Systems Chairman Ray O'Connor said that when "you truly understand what the customer needs and what technology is capable of and you connect them together as Harry does, magic happens".
Aptella CEO Martin Nix said Harry always had the customer front and centre, with a rare ability to envisage the solution and work through all the different components to get there.
Topcon Product Manager Senior Vice President Richard Jackson said Harry would "go to the end of the earth to figure out how to solve a problem for a customer". "His ideas and determination have helped make me a better engineer and product developer," he said.
"I have worked with and learned from some amazing mentors in my career, and I am humbled to accept this award," Harry said.
