We’re delighted to have been named Business of the Month by Business for Calderdale.

Matthew Taylor and Christopher Lomax from Virtual Resolution picked up the award on Tuesday, May 15^th, during Business for Calderdale’s monthly networking event at the Craggs Country Business Park.

A not-for-profit organisation, Business for Calderdale provides opportunities for businesses within the Calderdale area.

The Business of the Month award recognises the outstanding achievements of organisations throughout Calderdale. Criteria considered are business initiative, significant growth in business or orders (including exports), business development and expansion in Calderdale, the UK or overseas, and creation of jobs (including apprenticeships). The winning company must also typify the spirit and creativity of business enterprise, innovation and corporate social responsibility in Calderdale.

The award is judged by a committee comprising local business people and chaired by Nick Worsnop, a partner at Chadwick Lawrence solicitors. It is also supported by the Halifax Courier, with companies selected from coverage in the publication’s business section.

Tim Power, VR’s managing director, said: “The award from Business for Calderdale is special for us because it provides recognition from our local business community. Working with businesses in our area is really important to us because we’re all helping to support the local economy, and put Calderdale on the map as a hub of creativity and innovation”.
