Best Young Entrepreneur 2009 - Update

Anglesey-based John Kelly was the winner of the Best Young Entrepreneur category in 2009. His company, John Kelly Construction Services, is a successful growing business, supplying a wide range of construction and civil engineering services in the North Wales area.

John Kelly said: “Winning the award last year has had a major impact on John Kelly Construction Services Ltd. It has boosted the profile of my business.

"There was some significant media coverage of the event and I have incorporated a feature on the award in the news section of my company website. But, perhaps more fundamentally, it has had a positive effect on me as a person and an entrepreneur.

"To have received the endorsement of such a prestigious foundation and encouragement from such a proven figure as Steve Morgan has reinforced my confidence in myself and my business strategy. It has confirmed to me in my own mind that I am on the right track and doing things the right way."
