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.”
