2024 President – Denley Jenkins

Denley Jenkins lives and works on the 240-acre beef and sheep farm near Newcastle Emlyn. He has been exhibiting cattle since the early 1980s at many local and national shows. In 2018 Denley and family extended the catering side of the farm business, hosting many weddings, agricultural shows, YFC events, corporate functions, Farm Open Days and livestock sales. The catering companies employ local staff and continue the emphasis on local produce, proudly supporting Celtic Pride Welsh Beef at all their events.

“Without doubt, this is the greatest honour I will ever have.”

“I first joined the Society in 1981, and have since benefitted greatly, making friends for life along the way. I believe strongly that supporting small and local shows raises the standard of the Royal Welsh Show. What a stage we have.”

2024 Ambassador – Esyllt Griffiths

“I am so grateful to be Ambassador for the Society.”

“The Royal Welsh Show has been such a huge part of my life and I never thought I would have such a special opportunity. 2024 bodes to be a year to remember and we can’t wait to showcase the best of Ceredigion. On we go as one big family!”
