Pembrokeshire’s Dragon LNG is celebrating a win at this week's Welsh Business Awards.

The terminal at Waterston, Milford Haven, picked up an award for Excellence in Community Relations at the event, held at the National Museum for Wales, Cardiff, on Thursday (February 23).

The event is organised by the South and Mid Wales Chamber of Commerce.

Dragon LNG has implemented a series of initiatives aimed at contributing to the Pembrokeshire community.

In addition to working with numerous charitable organisations, it supports programmes and activities with pupils at Milford Haven schools, including building children’s confidence and presentation skills via drama workshops; funding their attendance at a marine and earth summer school in Southampton; sponsoring the Pembrokeshire apprenticeship scheme and running a graduate programme for local, national and international students interested in the oil and gas industry.

Since 2005, the company has also supported science, technology, engineering and maths education in all Pembrokeshire schools and Pembrokeshire College, organising outdoor activity and classroom sessions as well as guest talks from inspirational scientists.

“Winning the Excellence in Community Relations award means a great deal to Dragon LNG because it not only recognises our continued dedication to youth development and training in Pembrokeshire but also the hard work of our many project partners,” said Karen Wood of Dragon LNG.

“We know providing these opportunities widens horizons, and raises aspirations and expectations.

"Our ultimate aim is to develop the next generation in Pembrokeshire, to ensure they can prosper, no matter what their economic background.”

The 2016 awards, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year and sponsored by the University of South Wales, saw 35 businesses from a variety of sectors nominated for awards across 10 categories. The event was hosted by TV presenter Gethin Jones for the second time.

The winners of each category have the opportunity to progress to the British Chamber Awards when entries open in the Spring. Welsh businesses have traditionally performed well against UK-wide competition and a number have successfully secured a share of the prize money, which was £10,000 last year.
