Short-listed with two other Companies from Wales, the winner of this  prestigious award was  announced at a grand ceremony  which took  place in October 2007 at Bodelwyddan Castle, Denbighshire.

Call of the Wild was set up in 1998 by three old school friends from Neath, who gave up their professional careers and returned to their hometown to pursue their dream of owning and running a training and activity centre with a difference. They are committed to ensuring that clients are introduced to the wonderful local environment with a view to enhancing their learning, appreciation and enjoyment of the unique countryside within Brecon Beacons National Park, Neath Valley and Gower.  

The Company has grown to be not only one of the biggest in Wales but also the UK regularly delivering programmes for clients across the UK and Europe. It has a client base which includes companies such as Orange Mobile Phones, Panasonic, Admiral , BMW and Vodafone. Mark Soanes, Call of the Wild Director, commented “it is always reassuring to know that our work is being recognised and the contribution we make to the local economy is not underestimated.”
