An Ystrad Mynach business which produces bespoke timber designs continues to go from strength-to-strength after it received grant funding throughCaerphilly County Borough Council.

Craft Wales, based on the Dyffryn Business Park, manufactures and installs bespoke products mostly made from locally-sourced Welsh timber.

The business was awarded a Local Investment Fund grant towards the purchase of a piece of equipment called a ‘CNC Router’, which will enable the business to improve the range and quality of products it makes.

Cllr Ron Davies, cabinet member for regeneration and planning said: “Since it was established in 2006, Craft Wales has gone from strength to strength and continues to be a shining example of what can be achieved, even in this challenging economic times.”

Paul Hogg, director of Craft Wales, said: “We are extremely thankful for all the support we have received from Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Advisory Services team. The Local Investment Fund has undoubtedly enabled us to move into a new market sector which we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.”
