PRESTIGIOUS YORKSHIRE AWARD RECOGNITION

We are delighted to have been recognised by the Yorkshire Awards with a Business Enterprise Award.

Since forming in 1840 in Leeds as Hudson & Co, we have expanded from a one-man company to an employer of more than 1,000 people. In the last two years, through organic growth, our turnover has grown by over 25% - from £126m to £159m - and we have a capital investment program which will be over £14m this year.

This year has marked our 175th anniversary, which has seen us run a series of initiatives and live events for our staff, suppliers and customers.

Managing director Nick Howarth, who collected the award alongside his brother and fellow MD Andrew, said: “We feel privileged to collect this prestigious award on behalf of not only our current colleagues within Howarth Timber, but also for all the previous generations within the company’s 175 year history.

“We are proud to have been a constructive part of the Yorkshire business community for so many years, and the recognition from our peers that this award shows.”
