Hartlepool Business Awards

October 2025 marked a significant moment in the history of Cicor Hartlepool Ltd.

On 16 October 2025, the site attended the prestigious Hartlepool Business Awards with 300 other guests and dignitaries including the town’s Member of Parliament (Jonathan Brash), the Ceremonial Mayor (Carole Thompson) and leading companies in the area.

We very much see the site’s considerable improvement and recent success as a team effort, so alongside the leadership team we invited 5 of our long-standing employees that have a combined 235 years of service to the awards to celebrate their contributions over those years.

Amongst some pretty tough competition and a list of perennial winners, Cicor Hartlepool Ltd. walked away with the two main awards of the evening: that of ‘Best Large Business’ and ‘Best Engineering or Manufacturing Business’.

This was an immense honour and the awards were awarded based on our performance and the resurrection of the company since being integrated into the Cicor family. Our insistence of ‘living and breathing’ the Cicor core values (in actions not just words), have contributed to these awards and the perceptions people have externally. We are definitely seeing more footfall into the factory from potential customers as a result, and in the large majority of cases we are winning the work. We are constantly referred to as an ‘Employer of Choice’ in the town, and we are very confident these awards won’t be our last.

What does commitment look like

• On the 29th October Cicor Hartlepool had the pleasure of celebrating with June Burton and Mark Sunley, who each reached an impressive 40 years of service with the company.
• To honour their dedication, we hosted an on-site celebration with food and refreshments, bringing together employees from across the organisation. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together to recognise the commitment, hard work, and loyalty that June and Mark have shown over the past four decades.
• 40 years is an extraordinary amount of time to be in work, but to do it all in one place is an exceptional and very rare achievement.
• Many Congratulations again to Mark & June on behalf of everyone at Cicor Hartlepool. Thank You so much for everything you have put into this site over the past 40 years.

Merry Christmas from Cicor Hartlepool Ltd!

From all the employees at Cicor Hartlepool Ltd; we extend our seasons greetings to all the Cicor family.

Merry Christmas!
