A Mochdre-based CCTV company is celebrating a landmark anniversary.
Active CCTV, founded in 2000 by Adrian Standerwick, has reached the 25-year milestone with new clients, a surge in turnover, and plans for nationwide growth.
The company, which installs security systems for big names such as McDonald's, Montgomery Water, and Brother, has seen a 400 per cent growth in the last four years.
Mr Standerwick, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for bowel cancer, said: "It has been a tough time, but I have an amazing family and my son Matt, who leads on the installation side of the business, has been incredible in stepping up to help me.
"As has Andy, who has been with the company for nearly two years and taken over a lot of the day-to-day running of the company, which has been a huge help in taking the pressure off and allowing me to focus on fighting this disease and the time to rest and recover."
Despite his health challenges, Mr Standerwick remains positive and focused on the future.
He said: "I am a positive person and focused on getting better, I can no longer live to work 24/7, but at the same time, we are busier than ever which is fantastic."
He attributes the company's success to diversification, with self-storage now accounting for about 60 per cent of their workload.
Mr Standerwick said: "Self-storage is now about 60 per cent of our workload, with clients from the top of Scotland to the bottom of England and all over, so we have become a big player in that sector."

Reflecting on the company's journey, Mr Standerwick revealed that Active CCTV was the first company in North Wales to launch PC-based systems.
He said: "Consistency and building strong business relationships has been key, in the way we deal with customers and in always wanting to learn, to implement the newest and most up-to-date technology, and in supporting other firms locally, which is reflected in the amount of five-star reviews we have received."
He added: "CCTV has moved on – it is literally night and day from when we started as the cameras are full colour and can produce clear, light images around the clock – and we have had to move with the times, but I am proud to say we have done so successfully and will continue to for many years to come."
