A NORTH-EAST entrepreneur has won a national award.
David Blake, 32, from Seghill, near Cramlington, Northumberland, set up Blake Air, offering a 24-hour breakdown service for compressor and pneumatic equipment, in 2002, helped by a £2,000 Prince's Trust loan.
He was presented with the Distributor of the Year award by Worthington Creyssensac, an air compressor company.
The award was sponsored by Atlas Copco, a company that produces air compressors that Mr Blake sells and services.
