Sunny Sharma, Director at Pet Brands and Vital Pet Trade Specialist, has been announced as winner of the SME Company Director of the Year, Yorks and NE, by the Institute of Directors at a gala dinner.

Sunny said he was surprised and delighted to receive the award which was the icing on the cake on a very enjoyable evening.

Simon Walton, Managing Partner at Odger Berndtson/Berwick Partners and Head Judge for the Director of the Year Awards 2018, said: “This was a very hard category to judge as the quality of entries was particularly high but we felt that Sunny Sharma was the standout candidate due to the impressive growth of Pet Brands and the company’s international expansion.”
