Endaf Jones, managing director, said: "This is the proudest moment of my professional career to accept this ward on behalf of Jones Login. Such an achievement cannot be gained by the latest new coaches alone; the hard work, reliability and dedication of all our staff is just as important for a small family business such as Jones Login to be successful in this way."
