Blake attended with his father, Alumet's CEO Gary Summers, famous in the industry for his trademark green jackets! All three of Gary's children work in the business (Gary other son Lee is Technical Director while his daughter Alex is Account Manager) and he is proud of the company's family ethos. Gary commented "It a great testament to family businesses that Alumet have received this coveted award. It shows that true family values can be withheld in large, successful businesses, a fact of which I am very proud of."
