Operations Director, Nathan Spackman said, “We’ve always known that the Vale of Glamorgan is a special place, but this year's Awards have been the best showcase of the amazing work being undertaken around here. We’ve been blown away by the quality and number of entries this year, and every single winner, finalist and nominee should be so proud of their contributions to the County.”
“This event wouldn’t be possible without the support of our sponsors, in particular our headline sponsor Chris Davies Estate Agents, who have supported this event for the second year in a row. I’d like to thank each sponsor for their continued support of our community awards and our wider work across the Vale of Glamorgan.”
