Founder of the South Wales Business Awards, Wesley Skene said:
“Since 2008 we have seen an increase every year in the number & standard of applications. 2019 has shattered all records, once again proving that South Wales is a truly special place for business and entrepreneurship. After a difficult few weeks for the Welsh economy, it is great to see that we have such a strong and vibrant business community leading the way.”
“Wales is not only the ideal place to run a business but also Welsh businesses are at the forefront of the worlds economy.”
The awards were also an opportunity to raise funds for charity. The nominated charity for 2019 was Dream & Wishes.
