Research engineer Nicholas Sammut, last year's winner of the Johnnie Walker Man of the Year Award, has donated his prize to the Puttinu Cares Foundation.

The cheque was presented to Victor Calvagna, consultant paediatrician and president of the foundation that cares for children with cancer, by Matthew Miceli, director of M. Demajo (Wines and Spirits) Ltd, which had originally funded the prize. Dr Sammut is vice-chairman and chief executive officer of the Council for Science and Techno-logy.

He had won the award because the judges felt he reflected the core brand essence of Johnnie Walker, that of inspiring continuous personal progress and achievement.
