Judging for the awards has officially begun and our inspirational panel of judges have the unenviable task of selecting winners for each category. In just three weeks’ time we will have our winners, and we are so excited to see who they are!

We wouldn’t be able to honour such remarkable children and young people without the amazing support from our sponsors, and today we are delighted to announce Owens Group as sponsors of the Exceptional Young Carer Award.

Started by brothers Huw & Eurof in 1972, Owens Group has grown substantially over the last 50 years and is now the UK’s leading Transport & Warehousing company. They employ over 900 people across the UK, with 1 million square feet of warehousing and over 1000 vehicles in operation.

Owens Group are conscious of their corporate responsibilities and ensure that their network has a low percentage of wasted miles to provide the most environmentally friendly solutions. Their fleet includes a range of Euro 6 engines, which are the latest and most fuel-efficient trucks on the road. They also have a team of driver trainers who ensure that each driver is educated to the highest standards, targeting fuel efficient driving practices.

David Owen, from Owens Group, said of the partnership “Owens Group are proud to be associated with the Child of Wales Awards 2023 and delighted to sponsor the 'Exceptional Young Carer Award'. 

Over the last 50 years since Owens Group started, we have been very prominent in giving back to charities, local communities and sporting clubs. What these young, inspirational children do daily for their family, friends and the local community is truly breath-taking and to be a part of giving something back to them is so important to us. 

As a proud Welsh business, we're looking forward to celebrating the event in March, in what should be a great night.”

Blanche Sainsbury, Awards founder, said “Owens Group are a widely known, proud Welsh business and we are honoured to have them support us this year. Their dedication to giving back to the community, and to charities, over the last 50 years is truly admiral.

We wouldn’t be able to honour the amazing children of Wales without the support of all our sponsors, and for that we are truly grateful”
