Royal visit for award winning countryside centre



The Clynfyw Countryside Centre in Pembrokeshire enjoyed a visit from HRH The Prince of Wales this week, when Her Majesty The Queen and members of The Royal Family spent a day touring recent winners of The Queen's Awards for Enterprise.



The Clynfyw Countryside Centre, which won a Queen's Award for Sustainable Development in April 2004, was chosen as one of just twenty-five companies nationwide to receive a Royal visit on 14th July to celebrate "British Enterprise". The visits preceded an evening reception at Buckingham Palace for all winners of this year's Queen's Awards.

HRH The Prince of Wales is pictured presenting farmer Mr James Lewis-Bowen, manager of the Clynfyw Countryside Centre, with the organisation's Queen's Award for Enterprise. The Centre provides farm-based supportive care and rural arts holidays on a working organic farm and ecologically managed woodland.

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the UK's top Awards for business enterprise. There are three categories of Award for businesses (for Innovation, International Trade and Sustainable Development), and one brand new category of individual Award (for Enterprise Promotion). The latter was officially launched on July 14th 2004 to recognise people making outstanding individual contributions to an enterprise culture in the UK.
