Entrepreneurialism plays a vital role in our economic ecosystem. Business owners and our industry leadership network bring invaluable practical experience, innovation, and flexibility, making them key partners in tackling economic challenges alongside government efforts. A stronger voice for business is a competitive advantage for Wales. Looking forward to working with you Katie Spackman, Ian Price, Russell Greenslade, John Bynorth https://lnkd.in/efweMR_A
