SIX Welsh food and drink entrepreneurs compete for a £5,000 prize in S4C’s New Business Series ‘Busnes Bwyd’, airing tomorrow (Wednesday) evening — and one of them may be a familiar face to local shoppers.
The brand-new S4C series is set to spotlight the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of Wales’ food and drink scene, and will feature Matthew Rees, of Carmarthen family butcher Albert Rees, also a regular weekly fixture at Pembroke Dock’s Friday market.
Busnes Bwyd (Food Business), airing on Wednesday, June 4 at 9pm, will follow six standout local producers as they go head-to-head in a bid to win £5,000 in business funding and expert mentorship to take their ventures to the next level.
The series showcases a diverse lineup of small business owners, each rooted in community, heritage, and a deep passion for quality produce. Over a series of challenges, they will face rigorous testing in branding, business planning, and market appeal—guided by two of Wales’ most respected business minds.
Among the mentors is Marian Evans, an award-winning entrepreneur and business coach whose career spans from farming roots to boardroom leadership. Known for her practical advice and ability to spot potential in unexpected places, Marian brings a sharp commercial eye and deep industry insight to the competition.
Joining her is Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, widely regarded as Wales' original entrepreneurship guru. With decades of experience advising government bodies, universities, and startup founders alike, he offers a no-nonsense, academically grounded approach to helping small businesses succeed.
Between them, the mentors have supported hundreds of ventures across Wales and beyond—making their combined input one of the most valuable aspects of the series.
Tudur Owen presents the series. The BAFTA-winning comedian brings warmth, humour, and a healthy dose of mischief as he guides the competitors through each twist and turn of the competition. His sharp wit and deep understanding of Welsh culture ensure the series is as entertaining as it is inspiring.
