Welsh investment and philanthropic venture MASANAS is sponsoring the official launch of the British Bird of Prey Centre’s new facility in Carmarthenshire, supporting the next stage of growth for one of Wales’ prominent conservation and visitor attractions.

The new home provides additional space for the Centre’s birds while allowing it to expand its conservation and education work and develop the visitor experience.

The launch, taking place on September 10^th, is being delivered by the British Bird of Prey Centre in partnership with IoD Wales and will bring together business leaders and stakeholders from across Wales.

MASANAS was founded by award-winning entrepreneur Mark Sweeny and the sponsorship forms part of its wider focus on supporting ambitious organisations and projects delivering economic and community benefits in Wales.

Guests at the launch will have the opportunity to tour the new facilities, watch a flying display and hear from a guest speaker, alongside networking with members of Wales’ business community.

Mark Sweeny, Founder and Chief Executive of MASANAS, said: “What Emma and the team have achieved deserves real recognition. They’ve created a visitor attraction that is educating people, supporting conservation and making a positive contribution to Wales.

“This new home is the result of years of hard work and belief in what they were building. At MASANAS, we’re passionate about backing people with that kind of vision because the impact goes far beyond the organisation itself. It creates opportunities, inspires future generations and leaves something meaningful behind.”

Emma Hill, Director of the British Bird of Prey Centre, said: “This is a really proud moment for all of us. We’ve poured so much into creating a home that gives our birds the environment they deserve while allowing us to do so much more through conservation, education and visitor experiences.

“We’re incredibly grateful to MASANAS for supporting our launch. Their belief in backing ambitious organisations makes them a valued partner as we continue to grow and inspire more people to discover and protect Britain’s birds of prey.”
