We Support Minority Businesses

Diversity Statement 

Hollingsworth actively works to be a strong company with a small company, family feel, in which employees are valued, proud to call home and that attracts the best talent.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) is essential to achieving that objective.

A diverse supplier is a business that is at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group that is part of a traditionally underrepresented or underserved group.
