Creative Business Wales

The Creative Business Wales team is made up of professional advisors with a balance of skills and creative industries’ experience.  In order to deliver the creative industries strategy effectively, a hub and spoke model has been devised which will provide two levels of focussed support.

Acting as a ‘hub’ the team will work with creative businesses to spearhead the development of the creative industries in Wales.  Under the guidance of an advisory panel of industry figures, they will help creative businesses to implement major projects and provide a business support service.  The same team will act as expert advisors to the Welsh Assembly Government’s Department of Economic Development and Innovation Networks (DEIN) and its subsidiaries, on all creative industries’ issues.

New and reformed organisations, together with the other important ‘spoke’ organisations, such as Welsh Music Foundation, Cultural Enterprise Services, the Film Agency for Wales and the Wales Screen Commission, will work under the direction of the ‘hub’.  The ‘hub’ will also partner agencies such as Skillset Cymru, Creative and Cultural Skills sector skills council, Finance Wales and NESTA.
