The annual ceremony — run by JR Event Group in partnership with Bevan Buckland LLP — brought together leading firms from Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire for a night of big wins, big applause and fierce competition.
Hosted by BBC presenter Jason Mohammad, the event saw a record number of entries this year, with judges describing the standard as “the toughest yet”. Guests also heard from Hair Syrup founder Lucie Macleod, whose Pembrokeshire brand is on track to hit £10 million in sales.
A full gallery of images from the night — captured by photographer Gareth Danks — shows the winners collecting their trophies and the Brangwyn Hall crowd in full celebration mode.
