“This award means a lot to our business, after spending a hard year and Â£250,000 renovating our property, this comes as a welcome acknowledgement of our hard work.

“I’m lucky to have a hard working team and patients who are always recommending us to their friends.

“Some staff and patients have been with me since I first arrived in Bridlington some 17 years ago as a newly-qualified dentist.

“It was with great pride I received the Outstanding Business of the Year from a business hero of mine, Chris West of West BS.

“I must also acknowledge the other two finalists, Venture Seafoods and Coleman’s Cider, who are both outstanding businesses in their own right.”
