Northern Ireland-based Northbrook Technology yesterday won a prestigious UK award for health and safety.

Northbrook was one of just 30 winning companies out of almost 1,000 entries from across Britain to receive an award for the range of health and safety awareness raising activities during the European Week of Safety and Health, which took place from October 16th-20th last year.

A subsidiary of the US All-state Corporation, Northbrook employs more than 200 software programmers and designers in Belfast.
