Two young East Kilbride-based entrepreneurs have walked away with a top business award and a cash boost.

Nicola Roome and Graeme McCreath of Advanced Mailing Solutions Ltd in East Kilbride, beat off the best business talents of Lanarkshire's best young start-ups to win the final of the prestigious Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT)/The Royal Bank of Scotland Business Awards.

Advanced Mailing Solutions provides clients with a promotional material mailing service in both small and large quantities.

Nicola has extensive experience of the direct mail industry and, coupled with Graeme's background in IT, the pair aim to expand the business with the purchase of further equipment and a move to bigger premises.

A panel of top judges from the local business community assessed the finalists on the sustainability of the business, future prospects, their technical capabilities, business skills and personal attributes.

Nick Johnston, The Royal Bank of Scotland Area Business Adviser said: "Nicola and Graeme have put a great deal of energy, enterprise and innovation into their business and are deserving winners."
