Staff from Hustle & Co collect their award.
A Harrogate start-up company’s efforts to overcome the challenges of covid have been recognised.
Hustle & Co was one of three finalists from 24 nominated organisations in the new business starter of the year category at Yorkshire Choice Awards.
The awards ceremony, attended by 700 people in Leeds, recognised independent businesses in Yorkshire.
Hustle & Co, which is co-owned by Nici Routledge and Jo Bradshaw, opened in December 2020 on Prince Albert Row.
Ms Routledge said making the top three was recognition of the tenacity of everyone at Hustle & Co during a difficult period for start-ups due to covid and Brexit.

Carefound Home Care has won an award for being one of the top 20 home care groups in the UK.
Nearly a million disabled and older people receive care at home so they can stay living independently. This includes help with getting dressed, washed, preparing meals and drinks and administering medication.
Carefound was named as one of the top 20 home care providers in the UK based on reviews given at care reviews site www.homecare.co.uk.
Oliver Stirk, managing director of Carefound, said:
“This award is especially welcomed because it is based on actual reviews from our clients and their friends and family, who clearly recognise the outstanding care our home care team provides across Yorkshire.”
Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of homecare.co.uk, said:
“Carefound has proved that it provides a high standard of care and we’d like to congratulate it on being a top home care group.”
