A local firm has picked up not one, but two accolades at the Herefordshire Business awards.

Marches HR, a human resources firm established in 2022, is “thrilled” to have scooped the prestigious awards, with a spokesperson for the team saying the recognition for their hard work feels "incredibly special".

The spokesperson said they were honoured, but also “somewhat shocked” to have taken home the Professional Services Business of the Year award and the prestigious Outstanding Achievement award, the "winner of winners".
