Mark Clement, Gower College Swansea’s Learning Area Manager for Hospitality, Tourism, Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy, recently won an award for his sweet confections at a glittering event at St Tewdrics House, Chepstow.
Mark was named the Welsh regional winner in the Wedding Cake Designer of the Year category at the 2025 Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA).
“I’m delighted to receive this award, thank you so much to my wedding couples for taking the time to vote for me,” says Mark. “I’ve worked extremely hard over the last 37 years, balancing the demands of a full-time job alongside family life and running my business so it’s fantastic to gain this recognition for doing something I love”.
The regional winners were selected based on average voter scores and feedback from customers over the past 12 months, as well as the opinions of the expert judges.
“TWIA is the most rigorous, respected and coveted awards in the UK wedding industry, so the regional winners really are at the top of their game,” says awards founder Damian Bailey. “The competition is tough and the standards very high indeed but, thanks to over 27,000 client votes and our panel of more than 150 expert judges, the regional winners have risen to the top in an industry that absolutely demands the best.”
All regional winners, including Mark, will now go through to the national final in London in January 2025.
