Published: 01/07/2015

The search is on for Flintshire’s most successful businesses with the launch of the 2015 Flintshire Business Awards in association with AGS Security Systems.   Businesses across Flintshire have the opportunity to shine at the Flintshire Business Awards this year. From financial success to a company’s commitment to their team, the Flintshire Business Awards reward and recognise business excellence across the County.   All organisations located within Flintshire are eligible to apply, as long as they meet the criteria for each category.   Jonathan Turner, Managing Director of AGS Security Systems, who are headline sponsors of the Flintshire Business Awards said:   “We’ve been involved for six years, and a headline sponsor for four years now. I love the engagement, community feeling and spirit of Flintshire businesses. For us, it’s been invaluable to be a sponsor in terms of engagement with other businesses and also our company profile. Long may Flintshire Business Week, the Flintshire Business Awards, and our association with them, continue.”   Councillor Derek Butler, Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said:   “The Flintshire Business Awards are exclusively for businesses in Flintshire, large or small, and provide a great opportunity to celebrate the successes of the County’s business community.   “This year’s glittering gala awards ceremony will be held on Friday 23 October at Soughton Hall, Northop, and it will provide an opportunity for Flintshire’s successful businesses to shine. Winning a Flintshire Business Award can boost company profile, solidify reputation, and is great for staff morale.
