Husqvarna UK is sponsoring the Innovation award and Newcomer category for Aycliffe Business Park ’ s showcase event being held at Hardwick Hall Hotel on May 8 .
Husqvarna ’ s manufacturing director Caraline Robinson , who started out as an apprentice at the Aycliffe site , said : “ Last year ’ s Make Your Mark awards was a fantastic occasion , collectively celebrating some amazing achievements right across our thriving business park .
“ At Husqvarna , we ’ re always keen to support local initiatives , and backing these awards is a no-brainer – we see the value of celebrating success and raising the profile of our businesses individually , along with the business park as a whole .
“ These awards events inspire others to aspire to the same achievements , which ultimately lead to an even more thriving business community with more jobs being created for the local community .
“ We ’ re very much looking forward to another brilliant night – and we ’ d urge all companies and organisations on the business park to consider entering , or nominating their neighbours .”
