Construction firm Henry Brothers Ltd has been recognised as one of Northern Ireland's leading responsible businesses at a recent awards show.
At an online celebration event on 07 September, the contractor was named NI Responsible Company of the Year at Business in the Community's 2021 Responsible Business Awards.
This award celebrates Henry Brothers' success demonstrating the implementation of a wide range of successful corporate responsibility initiatives that strategically address key issues and challenges in a way that creates value for both society and the business.
Commenting on the recent award, Ian Henry, CR Director at Henry Brothers, said: "We are truly delighted to be announced as Business in the Community NI Responsible Company of the Year during what has been an unprecedented year for us all, but a year in which being a responsible business has never been more important. Throughout the year we have all witnessed and developed a new appreciation for even the simplest acts of kindness and a willingness to help others. It has also taught us that we are 'Altogether Stronger' and more resilient when we support each other, particularly during difficult times.
"Winning this prestigious award would not have been possible without the engagement and support of our entire workforce and many stakeholders. So, a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to this fantastic achievement."
Henry Brothers was one of 11 winners announced at the hybrid Awards event, hosted in-studio by TV and weather presenter Barra Best and broadcast live across Business in the Community's digital platforms.
Kieran Harding, Managing Director, Business in the Community added: "Congratulations to each of the winning organisations for leading the way in responsible business. This year has been really challenging for a lot of businesses and people in Northern Ireland, so I want to thank our winning, highly commended and shortlisted organisations for continuing to make responsible business action a priority.
"The judging process of the Awards is robust, and the standard of entries was phenomenally high this year. All winners demonstrated true leadership in the area of responsible business and their entries are sure to inspire others in their own responsible business journey."
