Andrew, who has kept his shop in Narberth for 20 years, was described by one of the judges as “not just a butcher, but a one-man local food campaign”.

Countryside Alliance chief executive Simon Hart said Mr Rees was “immensely modest”, but was carrying on traditional skills in a modern setting and making huge efforts to inform the next generation about the benefits of local produce.
