The Remote Worker Award:
Marieke Guy, Melksham, Wiltshire.

Marieke works for UKOLN, the University of Bath’s centre of excellence in digital information management.

Marieke became UKOLN’s remote worker champion in 2008 and also works to improve working conditions for other remote workers.

Winning the Remote Worker award was a great experience for Marieke and has really raised the profile of her blog, remoteworker.

She said: "It's such an amazing feeling to be recognised for the work you put in and it has significantly improved my confidence.

Since winning I've received more requests for presentations on remote working and continue support others working in this area. I've also started to look more at the environmental benefits of home working and hope to do more work on this in the future.

I recently got round to enjoying my Spa weekend at Cliveden House. The break was well needed and very much appreciated. Thanks so much to the Remote Worker Awards for making it all happen."
