I attended school in my home town of Cwmbran and when I was there my interests were more vocational with a keen interest in motor vehicles. I left school and was fortunate enough to gain myself an apprenticeship in Motor Vehicle Body Repair.
"I believe the best advice I can give anyone is that if you have the skill and confidence to start up in business it is far better to have ago, than to look back in ten years and say 'I wish I had given it a try'."
Pete Young - The Waterside Rest
My trading name is The Waterside, although I have several other business interests. After twenty three years in the retail and repair motor trade, I had a complete change to a tourism based accommodation, catering and hospitality business.
My primary business is a Catering and Full Mobile Event Drinks and Bar Service.
The thing I enjoy most is knowing that I am my own person and I really appreciate that I have nothing without my team. In the past all my experience came from learning the hard way, and although it helped to build my character I wish I could have been able to be more aware of the pitfalls of business.
