The 2024 Judges are drawn from a range of sectors and have expertise in practical art forms, sponsorship and the aims of the private sector.

The individuals who took on the considerable task of judging the business partnership categories are Donna Ali, Director of BE.Xcellence; Eversheds Sutherland’s Managing Partner, Tom Bray; Freelance Arts Producer Jason Camilleri; Karen Hodge, Trustee of the Hodge Foundation and Stephen Thornton, Public Affairs Manager at Valero.

The Adviser of the Year was judged by three key supporters of A&B Cymru’s Professional Development Programmes. They are Jonathan Chitty, Finance Director at the Port of Milford Haven, Managing Director of Grant Stephens Family Law, Grant Stephens and Clare Williams, Freelance Arts Consultant and Visual Artist.

The winners of the 2024 Awards will once again receive trophies specially commissioned for the ceremony. They will be designed and made by Bethesda based artist  Rhiannon Gwyn whose work encapsulates the rugged beauty of her home landscape by using the physical characteristics of Welsh slate and other locally sourced materials. The ceramic trophies she has designed for A&B Cymru will be painted with a glaze made from gorse flower collected and burned on the Carneddau mountains for conservation reasons and so each trophy will literally contain a unique piece of the Welsh landscape.

Tickets for the Best Welsh Experiences Raffle are now on sale. Tickets cost £5 and proceeds will fund projects which engage underrepresented communities with the arts. Should you be interested in purchasing tickets, please e-mail contactus@aandbcymru.org.uk
