TRFC, which has reported strong growth since being launched in 2011, won the title at a ceremony where nominees hailed from wide-ranging sectors including hospitality, retail, tourism, automotive, medical and IT.

The accolade comes just weeks after the business was ranked 34 in the Sunday Times Best 100 Small Companies to Work For and being awarded a Best Company 3 Star Accreditation – the highest accolade a company can receive – for “exceptional” levels of employee’s engagement.

At the same ceremony, TRFC also received a ‘Discovering Potential’ award for its inspiring work in running the Bayford Foundation – a pioneering programme built around creating sales jobs in the energy industry which will result in long term career opportunities for local people.

Adam Walsh, TRFC business director, said: “The Harrogate Advertiser Series Best Large Company award reflects our powerful company culture and values – and how our top team work together to drive our continued success and achieve our goals.”
