Nick Worsnop, Chair of the Business for Calderdale Committee added, “To say business has been tough for the last two years is an understatement. That’s why we feel it’s more important than ever to come together and celebrate our achievements and shine a spotlight on all business after such difficult and different times. We are so proud of how businesses have made the area a great place to live and work and for helping to put Calderdale on the map. The resilience and determination we have seen businesses show to not only survive, but to thrive has been amazing to see, and we have been astounded with examples of organisations being creative, innovative and enterprising.”
