Elddis were proud to be nominated by Willow Burn Hospice for an award in the prestigious North East Charity Awards. It was then a fantastic honour to be shortlisted and ultimately win the award overall. The competition was very tough, with the other two companies short listed both being global PLC’s. It is great to see the efforts of all of the team at Elddis recognised in such away. Our MD, Nigel Cook was also shortlisted in the individual charity supporter of the year catergory.
