Judges commended the company for its product innovation, developments in sustainability and credited its growth both domestically and internationally.
Judges commended Harrison Spinks for, “A strong all round performance which delivered growth while maintaining lead times through a challenging market, for strengthening their sustainability credentials and ongoing innovation”.
