Here is an opportunity for farmers, and individuals interested in the field, to meet dynamic individuals from Wales and beyond, whom have had the confidence to explore new ideas, the vision to transform them into reality and the business acumen to set up successful diversified or new enterprises.

There will also be a chance to hear from inspirational key-note speakers such as Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, who’s also known as The Black Farmer, and Hannah Jackson, who is also known as The Red Shepherdess.

The winner of two annual Entrepreneur Awards, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones is a classic entrepreneur with the “anything is possible” attitude to everything he approaches. Credited with bringing many of the top celebrity chefs to the small screen including Gordon Ramsay, Antony Worrall-Thompson, Brian Turner and James Martin, before founding a food and drink marketing company in London.

Wilfred subsequently fulfilled a lifelong ambition in purchasing a small farm in Devon, and has been responsible for one of the most successful food launches of recent times in the UK with his own range of meat products under The Black Farmer label. Talking about his background, his story and entrepreneurship, Wilfred will be on hand to inspire others to find opportunities within their existing businesses.
