PROM season is upon us, and one North Wales student has arrived for hers in style with the ultimate accessory.

Across Flintshire and Wrexham, Year 11 students have been celebrating the end of exams with glamorous celebrations.

And with the annual occasion missing for the last two years due to the pandemic, youngsters have been going all out.

Grace Parry, 15, who lives in Mold, arrived at her school's prom held at Chester Racecourse in the cab of a concrete mixer!

The teenager, along with friend Aimee Coppack, 16, were driven to the venue in a truck from her grandad David Robert's company, Dependable Concrete.

At the wheel was the firm's Wrexham batcher Steve Daykin, who set off with the girls from their Llay base in Wrexham.

After making their presence known with a good blast of the horn, Grace said to mum Gemma: "This has been the best thing I've ever done."

It was a double celebration for family-run Dependable Concrete, which is opening a new fifth plant in Ellesmere Port, joining operational sites in Deeside, Wrexham, Runcorn and Anglesey.

Gemma said: "Dependable has come a long way. We survived covid and continue to grow. We have a fabulous committed team with great work ethics."

Dependable Concrete's managing director David Roberts added: "We are a privately owned family business, and since Brexit and then covid, the demand for our products and service has grown dramatically.

"We made the decision to strengthen our position in the market place by securing a new site on Ellesmere Port Industrial Estate."
