Orangebox Training Solutions Proud to Celebrate Local Champions at the Hartlepool Heroes Awards.
A night of emotion, pride, and heartfelt celebration unfolded at the Borough Hall on Friday evening as Hartlepool came together to honour its most selfless and inspirational individuals at the long-awaited return of the Hartlepool Heroes Awards.
The powerful event, organised by The PFC Trust in partnership with Hartlepool Borough Council and Hartlepool Carers, paid tribute to the unsung heroes who go above and beyond every day to make life better for others in the town.
Among the most moving moments of the evening was the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award, proudly sponsored by us. This year’s honour went to Micky Day, whose decades of service, generosity, and tireless community work have left a profound and lasting mark on Hartlepool. The Orangebox team were in attendance with Simon Corbett at the stage to present the award and celebrate alongside Micky Day, the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Simon Corbett, our CEO & Founder said:
“Sponsoring the Lifetime Achievement Award was a privilege, and presenting it to someone as widely respected as Micky Day was an unforgettable moment. His dedication to the town and its people truly embodies what the Hartlepool Heroes Awards are all about.”
Throughout the evening, there was a real sense of pride and unity as the town came together to recognise carers, volunteers, fundraisers, and everyday heroes who give their time and energy without ever asking for praise.
Orangebox believes in supporting the communities we work in, not just through training and development, but by actively championing the people who make those communities thrive. Being involved in the Hartlepool Heroes Awards allowed us to show that commitment in action. We’d like to extend our thanks to The PFC Trust and all the organisers who put together such a meaningful event, and congratulations again to all the nominees and winners who inspire us every day.
Here’s to continuing to support local heroes and helping shape more of them through opportunity, education, and recognition.
