Adam goes back to school for headline speech

Adam Owens of Williams Denton made the headline speech at the launch of an innovative new business resource at Llandrillo Menai.

The breakfast event to launch Busnes@LlandrilloMenai included a series of briefings on current challenges and opportunities for businesses in North Wales.

Adam, a former Coleg Llandrillo student, gave his presentation on the pressing issue of pensions auto-enrolment. In it he offered essential information on how to comply with new legal requirements for workplace pensions and the significance of staging dates.

Busnes@LlandrilloMenai has been established to support employment and economic growth in the region.

It aims to bring together a range of existing and enhanced training, to include a package of short courses, based on a series of hubs covering key sectors from food to forestry to social media.

It will also provide a gateway to part-time professional and work-related programmes, varying from essential skills to degree level.

Glyn Jones, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai’s Chief Executive: “Supporting the business sector is a vital part of our mission, and we have taken major steps to ensure that we have reconfigured and redeveloped our services to business so that we can make an even greater impact on economic growth in our region.”

Adam, who works at the Llandudno office of Williams Denton, added: “It was a great honour to return to Coleg Llandrillo to support this initiative. I hope that businesses in North Wales will take advantage of the support now available through Busnes@LlandrilloMenai.”

Sponsored zip wire for Wales Air Ambulance

While retirement usually means time to take things easy, Sylvia Jones from Williams Denton in Llandudno is marking her final day at work hurtling through the air at 70 mph with a high-flying fundraiser for Wales Air Ambulance.

Sylvia, who has worked with the firm for 45 years, is being sponsored to take flight on the Zip World Titan at Llechwedd Slate Cavern on March 27.

There’s just one problem, she has a long-standing fear of heights.

She joked: “I think I chose to raise money for the Air Ambulance because I’m hoping they will look favourably on me if I need to be airlifted off!”

Sylvia, who will be joined by her colleague Craig Bisby on her high-flying adventure, hopes to raise £500 for Wales Air Ambulance.
