The awards showcase the achievements of Flintshire firms – and their profile has gone from strength to strength.

Young Entrepreneur: AGS Security Systems – who won the Small Business Award in 2009.

The company has undergone a significant period of growth and managing director Jonathan Turner believes the award has played a significant part in the company’s success.

Adam Dandy, managing director of Dandy’s Landscape Supplies Centre, was the winner of last year’s Business Person of the Year Award and the Young Entrepreneur Award.

He said: “The awards gained have not only added prestige to our business but they have also helped to promote us in the public eye.

“Dandy’s always gets involved in Flintshire Business Week and the awards night is a great way to end off the week’s proceedings.”

The 2011 winners receive their awards during a black tie event which attracts more than 200 guests.

This year’s ceremony will be held at Soughton Hall, between Northop and Sychdyn, on October 14.
