He claimed windows were smashed and white paint was splashed across the front of the premises. Xristos, one of the company’s three directors, said he also received messages warning to “go back to my own country” - he's originally from Athens, Greece.

North Wales Police said it received two reports of criminal damage at the premises and one of harassment. Officers are investigating and they have appealed for information from the public.

"You'd be shocked if you saw the messages I've been sent," said Xristos.

"I've had messages telling me to go back to my own country. They threatened my life. They warned me my office would be set on fire.
