Business Wales has been invaluable in enabling us to get our business off the ground.
Since securing a public house in Cwmbran, Gary and Karen Bulmer had extended plans to redevelop the space into accommodation units for tourists as well as a pub and restaurant.
To ensure they could develop the property and recruit staff successfully, they received advice from their Business Wales advisor on starting and growing the business, Castell Y Bwch.
They discussed recruitment opportunities, with their advisor providing them with a range of policies to form the company handbook, enabling them to recruit staff for the business.
Subsequently, Gary and Karen will review the accredited living wage and has signed up as a disability confident employer to support a diverse workforce.
To secure financial support for the development of the business, they are seeking funding from the Development Bank of Wales, with their advisor reviewing the business plan and forecasts to support the application.
