Barbara Chidgey, spokesperson for the Leading Wales Awards, said; “Now in our ninth year, the awards have successfully recognised and celebrated the efforts of hundreds of leaders in Wales that play a crucial role in today’s society.
“Every year there is a theme that shines through and this year it was passion. The judges were unanimous in that every finalist exhibited a real passion, not only for the roles they play but also a passion to achieve and to drive forward the success of their organisation.
“It is always a tough contest because every story is inspirational in its own right. All the winners and finalists should be proud of their achievements, and by sharing these success stories we can all learn and really help to shape strong leadership in Wales.”
