Gareth Achieves Gold Award in the Wrexham Ambassador Scheme
We’re incredibly proud to share some fantastic news – Founder and Managing Director, Gareth Boyd, has been awarded Gold status in the Wrexham Ambassador Scheme.
The award recognises Gareth’s ongoing commitment to championing Wrexham as a place to visit, explore and experience – and he’s delighted to be joining a growing community of Wrexham Tourism Ambassadors who share one goal: putting Wrexham firmly on the map.
What is the Wrexham Ambassador Scheme?
The Wrexham Ambassador Scheme, led by This Is Wrexham, celebrates individuals and businesses who actively promote the town and wider region.
Ambassadors play a vital role in showcasing Wrexham’s:
Culture and heritage
Food and drink scene
Independent businesses
Warm Welsh welcome
Gold Ambassador status is awarded to registered ambassadors who go above and beyond in supporting Wrexham’s tourism, economy and reputation – something Gareth has been passionate about for many years.
A Natural Fit for Walking Food Tours UK
For anyone who knows Gareth or has joined one of our tours, this recognition will come as no surprise.
Wrexham plays a key role in the Walking Food Tours UK story. From celebrating local producers and independent venues to sharing the city’s evolving food, drink and cultural scene, Gareth has consistently championed what makes Wrexham (and Wales) special.
Whether it’s welcoming visitors on food and drink experiences, supporting local independents, working collaboratively with partners, or simply talking passionately about the city at every opportunity – Gareth firmly believes that great places are built on people, stories and community.
Gareth’s Thoughts on the Award
“I’m genuinely delighted to receive the Gold Award and to be part of such a positive and growing ambassador community. Wrexham has so much to shout about – from its independent food and drink scene to its culture, history and sense of pride. I’m passionate about encouraging people to explore the city, support local businesses and experience Wrexham properly, not just pass through it.”
Championing Local, Always
At Walking Food Tours UK, supporting local independents and celebrating place is part of our DNA. Every tour we run in and around Wrexham is designed to tell authentic stories, create meaningful connections and leave guests with a real sense of what makes the city tick.
Gareth’s Gold Ambassador recognition reinforces that mission – and strengthens our commitment to working alongside local businesses, producers and partners to continue showcasing Wrexham at its very best.
Looking Ahead
As Wrexham continues to grow in confidence and visibility as a visitor destination, Gareth and Walking Food Tours UK will remain proud advocates, ambassadors and cheerleaders for the city.
