A Birkby car dealer has been recognised for his entrepreneur skills.

Shakeel Shah, 33, is director of Shak’s Specialist Cars and has been awarded the Huddersfield Entrepreneur of the Year award by Oracle Marketing.

Mr Shah said: “I have been in this current premises for the past eight years and have experienced many hurdles but the one which was most difficult and challenging was making my brand name known from nothing to one of the largest suppliers of super prestige cars.

“I have a vision to expand to other parts of the UK and carry on giving our professional service which we proudly provide to all new and existing clients.”
