"Our Best Companies result for 2021 is a huge credit to every one of our colleagues at Curo. Each of them has worked tirelessly during the pandemic to keep our customers safe and provide essential services to some of the most vulnerable people in society and they have done that with positivity and a 'can do' attitude throughout some of the most difficult circumstances we have faced."
