About the speakers
Andrew is a qualified engineer by trade who started his own plant machinery business in his early 20’s. In 1994, he saw an opportunity to diversify the family farm into an off-road rally karting track and outdoor activity centre.

Over the years, Andrew has provided work experience and employment to several young people who were struggling to engage with the traditional approach to education. He found that he was able to relate to them and help then to find their true potential. This sparked a passion for working with disengaged young people. Through The Game Change Project, Andrew has helped many more young people get their foot on the employment ladder and improve their prospects.

Sian’s background is in coaching and community development. She is a strong believer that learning by doing is the best approach for young people to develop confidence, respect, self-awareness, communication and numerous other life skills.

By joining forces with Andrew, Sian believes they have what it takes to make a real difference to young people’s lives in Powys.
