Continued support for entrepreneurship in Wales is vital to driving economic growth post Brexit and COVID. That is why I am investing £20.9 million per annum in the Business Wales service to replace lost EU funding, despite the UK Government’s failed commitment to replace funding.

We are committed to building on Wales's success in hosting major events. We work proactively with event owners across the whole of Wales, and I was pleased to see the Big Retreat Festival take place last week delivering economic, cultural and social benefits to Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire.

(Translated)

To date, no jobs have been created at Parc Bryn Cegin. A number of parties have made or are looking to make offers to buy plots. This will hopefully lead to the development of 110,000 sq ft of speculative and bespoke industrial unit space, helping to create jobs in future.
