ABP’s South Wales’ Ports of Swansea, Port Talbot, Barry, Newport and Cardiff and the South Wales Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to offer port companies a year’s guest membership in one of the biggest business networks in the country.
As well as a thank you for their business, the scheme aims to give the port business community a bigger voice.
The ABP Ports in South Wales contribute £1.4bn to the UK economy each year and support more thab 15,000 jobs in Wales and another 6,000 in the rest of the UK.
With a Chamber of Commerce membership, businesses will be able to expand their reach and influence in professional networks and grow their business support services.
James Cooper, ABP chief executive, said: “We take our responsibility to contribute to the economic wellbeing of the region seriously. One of the best ways to do that is to support our customers to make the connections they need to become even more successful.
“By making their voice heard and taking part in the business life of the region, they will also have the chance to play a part in making our region a better place to do business. And that’s something we can all benefit from.”
