A FLOURISHING Runcorn firm has won a top accolade.

The Tall Group has been named as one of the 50 fastest growing companies in Greater Manchester.

The Tall Group has made it into the 2018 list after achieving three years of strong turnover growth whilst still remaining profitable and now goes through to the awards this evening.
