A pair of Bradford builders are celebrating after having their firm named Franchisee of the Year.

Danny Barber and Darrel Weston, partners in Red Jack Construction, received the award from parent firm, the Freedom Group of Companies.

Red Jack was praised for developing its business and providing a high level of customer service. Mr Barber, from Baildon, said: "It's great to have our hard work recognised in this way."

The award marked the fifth anniversary of the Freedom Group, a Wakefield-based facilities management firm formed from a management buyout of Yorkshire Electricity's building maintenance department.
