The awards recognise those who have gone the extra mile to make things better for others in the County Durham community and those who have helped make a positive difference throughout the pandemic. 

HC-One has been named as a finalist in the ‘Large Company of the Year’ category where the award will be presented to a large County Durham company, with excess of 250 employees, that has demonstrated that they have helped and supported the greater good throughout the pandemic.
