Ashmole & Co, one of the area’s largest bilingual accountancy firms, is sponsoring the Wales YFC dance competition at this year's Royal Welsh Show.

The firm, which has worked with the Welsh farming community since it was founded in 1897, said supporting young people in agriculture remains a priority. Many of its partners and staff are current or former Wales YFC members.

The dance competition sponsored by Ashmole & Co will take place on the main YFC stage on Tuesday, July 21, from 1pm.

Ceri Llwyd, Ashmole & Co’s Partner in the Llandovery and Llandeilo offices, said: “As the auditor of Wales YFC, we know the importance of this bilingual, rural youth organisation in helping and supporting young people to become successful farmers, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens. It has been an honour to work with Wales YFC over many years. We have developed an excellent working relationship and I very much hope that this will continue for years to come. We would like to wish everyone competing at the Royal Welsh Show the best of luck. We hope everyone enjoys the tremendous experience. I shall be there on Tuesday to watch and show my support.”

Mared Rand Jones, Chief Executive Officer for Wales YFC, said: “The Royal Welsh Show is the pinnacle of the year for YFC members and we look forward to seeing our members once again representing their counties and competing in a variety of competitions. Wales YFC will be showcasing the very best, and the public will be entertained throughout the four days of the Show. We thank Ashmole & Co for their tremendous support of Wales YFC. As a charity organisation, we depend on kind sponsorship to be able to provide activities and competitions for our members. We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Wales YFC Centre during the Show.”
