Great news! Our team scooped a prestigious business award in last week’s (Thursday, November 1) Huddersfield Examiner Business Awards.<\/p>\n

That’s right; you’re now looking at the proud owners of the SME of the Year (21 to 50 employees) accolade, which we collected amongst the haze and excitement of the glittering awards night at our town’s football stadium.<\/p>\n

Here’s our very team (don’t we scrub up well?!) picking up the trophy on the night…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When we were nominated for the award earlier this year, we were absolutely thrilled. We were up against some stiff competition but hoped we’d still emerge victorious. We put so much hard work into our family-run business, since forming back in 2006 – and feel it isn’t before time that we’ve been recognised in such a way.<\/p>\n

The awards night<\/a> champions ‘the best and brightest in business’, singling out those who’ve shown ‘drive, ambition and entrepreneurial flair.’ Of course, we were proud to be featured in the line-up of nominees – and prouder yet to take home the award.<\/p>\n

Find out what our managing director, Steve Laidlaw, had to say when he was interviewed by the Examiner Awards team recently – just click here<\/a> to watch the video.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the event, Steve said: “It’s thanks to the hard work of our team that we’ve scooped this award – and it certainly isn’t before time. Our time-served craftsmen and women put their all into every piece of furniture they create. I, for one, am thrilled we’ve been recognised at such an exciting time within our small but ever-growing company.”<\/p>\n
