“The development of talented employees sits at the heart of Hawksford’s people strategy. We are only able to deliver positive business results through the hard work and dedication of the entire Hawksford team, so it is particularly gratifying to recognise and reward those who made a strong and noticeable contribution to the company. The promotions demonstrate the great quality and depth we have within the business."
