Double Award For Creative Terrace

Two creative businesses based at The Terrace have scooped national awards as the city’s reputation as a creative hub goes from strength to strength.

Ted Brewer, manufacturer of bespoke electric violins, whose most famous client is Vanessa Mae, scooped the award for ‘Best Export Innovation’ at the Music Industry Association Awards. The Award includes a free stand at next year’s Messe Frankfurt Music Industry Exhibition, which is generally recognised as the largest music industry exhibition in the World. The ceremony was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Park Lane, London on Monday 14 October.

Then on Wednesday 14th October Mark Chambers of Mark Chambers Illustration, Lincoln, won the Children’s Book Award of the National Association for Special Educational Needs at a ceremony held at the Russell Hotel in London.

Both winners are based at the creative industries workspace, The Terrace, in Lincoln. The Terrace Manager, Keith Luckey said: “All of us here at The Terrace feel very proud to be associated with Ted and Mark and are confident that they will continue to go from strength to strength. This is also a fantastic achievement for Lincoln and can only support our work to see Lincoln grow as a creative centre.”

Ted, whose company is called Ted Brewer Violins, based on the top floor of The Terrace, said: "I am absolutely over the moon with this award because it is presented by fellow music industry professionals. So far as I am aware this is the first major award to be won by a company based at The Terrace but I feel confident that many others will follow."

Mark’s winning book, was published by Tango Books last February, and is entitled Best Friends. It is about a disabled boy in a wheelchair and his best friend (a girl) who pretend they’re pirates on a ship, mountain climbers, astronauts, explorers and Olympic sprinters…. But when they are not playing make believe they also have a great time because they’re best friends!

On winning the award Mark said: “I am overwhelmed that my work has been recognised and appreciated. I am also pleased to be bringing the award back to Lincoln and The Terrace.”
