Tools supplier H Rothwell & Co won an award at the Rochdale Business Awards earlier this month.

The company picked up the Business of the Year award in the £1m – £5m turnover category.

On its blog, Rothwells said: “As a Rochdale-borne business, Rothwells has entered the Rochdale Business Awards for four years now, and it wasn’t until this year that we were even shortlisted for the top spot in our chosen category. We were as surprised as anyone to hear our name called out as the winner!”

Established in 1954, Rothwells is a family-run tools merchant and a premium supplier of Drapers Tools, catering for major tool categories including building, DIY, gardening, construction, automotive and engineering.

The Rochdale Business Awards were established in 2011 and this year’s event took place at Rochdale Town Hall in 10th November.
