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.
