The presenter of ITV Wales’ Coast & Country programme will present the prestigious Powys Business Award in October, organisers have revealed.

Andrew Price has been a familiar face on our TV screens for more than five years presenting from beautiful locations across Wales. He is considered one of the UK’s leading authorities on the subject of Bushcraft and Wilderness living.

Andrew is one of the rising stars on the UK Survival scene so he will fit in well with the surroundings of Infantry Battle School, Dering Lines in Brecon which will host the 2019 glittering awards ceremony.
