A national company, with a branch in Burnley, has been recognised at the Builders’ Merchant Awards following a year of activity focused on employee engagement, wellbeing and internal development.
Judges highlighted a range of initiatives at Howarth Timber and Building Supplies, including fundraising for chosen charity Andy’s Man Club, the delivery of International Women’s Day events, the introduction of an engagement committee, enhanced health and wellbeing support for employees, and improvements to internal communication across the business.
Gavin Knowles, Head of Marketing and Digital at Howarth Timber said: “We are incredibly proud to receive the Online and Digital Strategy Award. “This recognition reflects our commitment to meaningful, data-driven digital growth and to creating content that genuinely connects with our customers. We’re excited for the future and to continue exploring what’s possible in the digital space.”

We are truly grateful for this recognition and proud to contribute to building a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone."
Last month the Burnley branch, based in Pratt Street, hosted a big Christmas foodbank appeal to support families in need during the Christmas season. They invited invited residents to donate toys, food, and household items and praised the community’s response, calling it overwhelming, and would like to thank all those who made generous contributions.
A spokesman for the conpany said: “These donations have helped ensure that families in Burnley can enjoy a comfortable and joyful Christmas.”
