The Pendle Business Awards take place every two years, so we were excited to be recognised in the Pendle Employer of the Year category this year.

While we didn’t win the award this time, we were absolutely thrilled to receive Highly Commended status, with the judges recognising our commitment and dedication to the training and nurturing of our staff.

Sanderson Dance & Fitness, and Stanley House Veterinary Group were contenders in the group, with Stanley House taking the crown.

Our managing director, Martin Harvey said: “It’s a fantastic achievement to reach the final stage in this category.

“As a company we put time and effort in to developing the skills of our employees; without them the business wouldn’t be what it is today!”
