We are delighted to announce Welsh International rugby union referee Nigel Owens MBE is our guest speaker for the ACAD Awards Dinner following our Golf Day at the Celtic Manor Resort Newport on Thursday 16th September, 2021.
Nigel was appointed as an international referee in 2005, and that year officiated at his first international between Ireland and Japan in Osaka. Nigel made his World Cup debut in 2007, and has also refereed the Rugby World Cup 2015 Final at Twickenham – one of his proudest moments.
He is one of only two referees to be appointed to referee two consecutive Heineken Cup finals: Munster v Toulouse at the Millennium Stadium in 2008; and Leicester Tigers v Leinster in 2009. He has since done a third final at Twickenham (2012), this as well as two European Challenge Cup finals makes a total of five European finals, making him the most capped referee in European competition.
He is also known as a TV personality, as one of the presenters of the S4C chat shows Jonathan and Bwrw’r Bar. Nigel also hosts his own quiz programme Munud i Fynd (A Minute to go).
The evening will commence at 7.00pm and will include a sumptuous three-course dinner alongside our audit awards and presentation of the Apprentice of the Year award.
