Forum support

Businesses in Wales enjoy the support of employer-led sectoral fora. These bodies facilitate industry networking, sharing of good practice and collective action on issues of common interest, for example skills development.

They also undertake industry research and act as a voice for the sectors concerned. There are well-established fora covering many key industries including electronics, aerospace and automotive manufacturing.

The Welsh Assembly government or its sponsored agency were instrumental in setting up these bodies and continue to support their work.

A wider ranging Manufacturing Forum for Wales will be established in the near future.

Account management

All inward investing businesses qualify for ongoing support from an Account Manager specifically assigned to them. This professional’s role is to help the firm maximize the benefit of being in Wales. He or she will maintain regular contact with the company to discuss their needs and aspirations.
