The support given by Business Wales on compliance and process has been incredibly valuable and helped us achieve success.
Specialising in selling high quality farm machinery and tractors, RG Tractors are a family-owned business based in South Wales. The director of the business had a background and understanding of exporting but needed advice and support on international trade in farm machinery.
Their business advisor discussed how to improve the business’s new market strategy, recruitment, marketing, and web presence, which gave them a good position to build new partnerships in territories such as in Ireland, America and Europe.
The business was forecast for growth so discussions with a business advisor were key and lead to a discussion with the Development Bank of Wales, evaluating all future funding needs and options.
Additionally, RG Tractors have implemented the Equality Pledge, Disability confident pledge and the Green Growth Pledge, focusing on the well-being of staff and how monitoring energy and water use to reduce the carbon footprint of the business achieving net zero.
It’s great to hear RG Tractors were involved in the KickStart programme offering mentoring, coaching and career mapping to its employees, a scheme that provides funding to employers to create jobs for 16 to 24-year-olds on Universal Credit.
