Telgwen News
I’ve been a resident on this planet since 1963!
The year that the Beatles released their very first album, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the Great Train Robbery took place!
The following year The House of Commons voted to abolish the death penalty, BBC 2 began broadcasting in the UK for the first time and Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment!
Basically, I’m rather long in the tooth and my body keeps reminding me of that fact on a regular basis!
After many hours of deliberation, I have reluctantly, decided to take a step back from live entertainment transport to spend a ‘little’ more time at home with my family.
Over the last 12 years I have travelled the length and breadth of the country touring every aspect of live entertainment. I’ve visited fantastic venues and had the pleasure of meeting literally hundreds of wonderfully talented, committed, professional and enthusiastic cast, production managers, designers, venue staff and crew. If it wasn’t for their dedication, live entertainment would simply not exist!
Although very demanding, with very unsociable hours, it’s been a privilege to serve the industry and I thank every single one of my loyal customers for their unwavering support over the many years. My gratitude is also extended to all those venues who have made me feel so welcome.
The Future.
As from the 1st of October 2026, Les Jones Transport, based in Bridgend and Newport will be taking over our transport customers.
Les Jones Transport has a wealth of experience with 30 years in live entertainment logistics. They have a large and impressive fleet of specialised vehicles to cater for the needs of live entertainment.
Telgwen, however, will continue to provide storage for our many clients as per usual! This will remain totally unchanged.
I have already spoken to all our loyal customers to update them of the pending changes.
Over the next few months, I will be visiting each one of our clients, accompanied by Alex Dodd-Jones of Les Jones Transport, to formally introduce him to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
I will continue to work alongside Alex for at least a year to offer my experience, and advice on the Welsh entertainment industry. Telgwen customers are encouraged to continue to phone me with their requirements until such time that Alex has come to know you all.
You may even find me driving the odd tour during the busy periods!!
Finally, both Adele and I would like to wish Les Jones Transport every success for the future. Acquiring Telgwen transport will undoubtably enhance their already well-established presence within the live entertainment industry.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi gyd,
Rhydian
Newyddion Telgwen
Rwyf wedi bod yn breswylydd ar y blaned hon ers 1963! Y flwyddyn y rhyddhaodd y Beatles eu halbwm cyntaf un, llofruddiwyd Arlywydd yr Unol Daleithiau John F. Kennedy, a digwyddodd y Lladrad Trên Mawr!
Y flwyddyn ganlynol pleidleisiodd Tŷ’r Cyffredin i ddiddymu’r gosb eithaf, dechreuodd BBC 2 ddarlledu yn y DU am y tro cyntaf a dedfrydwyd Nelson Mandela i garchar am oes!
Yn y bôn, dw i braidd yn hen ac mae fy nghorff yn fy atgoffa o'r ffaith honno'n rheolaidd!
Rwyf, yn anfoddog, wedi penderfynu cymryd cam yn ôl o gludiant adloniant byw i dreulio ychydig mwy o amser gartref gyda fy nheulu.
Dros y 12 mlynedd diwethaf, rydw i wedi teithio hyd a lled y wlad yn teithio pob agwedd ar adloniant byw. Rydw i wedi ymweld â lleoliadau gwych ac wedi cael y pleser o gwrdd â channoedd o gast, rheolwyr cynhyrchu, dylunwyr, staff lleoliadau a chriw hynod dalentog, ymroddedig, proffesiynol a brwdfrydig. Oni bai am eu hymroddiad, ni fyddai adloniant byw yn bodoli!
Er ei fod yn heriol iawn, gydag oriau anghymdeithasol iawn, mae wedi bod yn fraint gwasanaethu'r diwydiant ac rwy'n diolch i bob un o fy nghwsmeriaid ffyddlon am eu cefnogaeth ddiysgog dros y blynyddoedd lawer. Mae fy niolchgarwch hefyd yn estynedig i'r holl leoliadau hynny sydd wedi rhoi cymaint o groeso i mi.
Y Dyfodol.
O 1 Hydref 2026 ymlaen, bydd Les Jones Transport, sydd wedi'i leoli ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr a Chasnewydd, yn cymryd drosodd ein cwsmeriaid trafnidiaeth.
Mae gan Les Jones Transport gyfoeth o brofiad, gyda 30 mlynedd ym maes logisteg adloniant byw. Mae ganddynt fflyd fawr a rhagorol o gerbydau arbenigol i ddiwallu anghenion adloniant byw.
Fodd bynnag, bydd Telgwen yn parhau i ddarparu storfa i'n nifer o gleientiaid fel arfer! Bydd hyn yn aros yr un fath.
Rwyf eisoes wedi siarad â'n holl gwsmeriaid ffyddlon i'w diweddaru ar y newidiadau sydd ar ddod.
Dros yr ychydig fisoedd nesaf, byddaf yn ymweld â phob un o'n cleientiaid, yng nghwmni Alex Dodd-Jones o Les Jones Transport, i'w gyflwyno'n ffurfiol i sicrhau trosglwyddiad llyfn a syml.
Byddaf yn parhau i weithio ochr yn ochr ag Alex am o leiaf flwyddyn i gynnig fy mhrofiad, a chyngor ar y diwydiant adloniant Cymru. Anogir cwsmeriaid Telgwen i barhau i ffonio fi gyda'u gofynion nes bod Alex wedi dod i'ch adnabod chi i gyd.
Efallai y byddwch chi hyd yn oed yn dod o hyd i mi yn gyrru ambell daith yn ystod y cyfnodau prysur!!
Yn olaf, hoffai Adele a minnau ddymuno pob llwyddiant i Les Jones Transport am y dyfodol.
Diolch yn fawr iawn,
Rhydian Jones
