Councillor Bryan Davies, Leader of Ceredigion County Council, said: “Ceredigion is a confident and welcoming County where many of its people are thriving and developing to establish prosperous and successful businesses. Companies in Ceredigion have taken advantage of a number of funding sources administered by the County Council through our UKSPF projects, ARFOR: Skilled Communities, Town Transformation and Cynnal y Cardi Funds projects. Let’s take advantage of these opportunities and celebrate what makes our County such a special place: the ideal place to live and succeed.”
