She said: "We were all stunned when they called out our name, it took us a few moments to process before we went up to collect the award.

"Pure Perfection has won several prizes over the years but none bigger than this, so we are absolutely thrilled.

"It's testament to the hard work and dedication of all our team, who have worked tirelessly over the last year to maintain our high standards following a challenging time for the industry post-covid.

"We ourselves have gone from strength to strength and being named best in the country reflects that, so we are privileged and thankful to the judges, and our loyal customers, for their support."

The mum-of-two, from Llangollen, has also been busy as one of the founding members of the Star Box campaign for the charity Awyr Las, a care package for patients using the Shooting Star Unit at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.

The unit cared for her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and she says the appeal is "a form of therapy", an outlet to give back and helping others on their "cancer journey".
