On this day in 2024, the York Press reported that Hatmill, a supply chain and logistics consultancy based in Ripon, had been named as one of the UK's Best Workplaces by Great Place To Work.
In the Best Workplaces Awards held in London, the company ranked runner-up in the medium category (51-200 employees).
The company credited its "unique, self-managing culture" and employee ownership for its success, according to this paper's reporting at the time.
Simon Dixon, founder and CEO at Hatmill, said at the time: "I believe Hatmill has been so successful in the programme due to our unique culture and innovative ways of working, in direct contrast to so many traditional consultancy firms."
