A2Z expands

Newport-based A2Z Computing is expanding into Swansea.

Malcolm Roberts has been brought in by the IT firm, which has been providing IT support and consultancy services to businesses across the UK for over 14 years, to look after the new branch.

Howard Kirkman, A2Z Computing's managing director said: "We've been making plans to open a Swansea branch for sometime, so to see it happening is incredibly exciting. Our first priority is to get out and about in the local community to show them what services we offer. Our client base is so diverse that we really can provide IT service to suit any need. We also have this fantastic experience of providing ICT support in the education sector so see this as one of our prime targets."

Anyone for coffee

Coffee Bean is a new coffee shop with a difference which has opened in Risca.

Jo Parsons, the woman behind the venture, said: "We will be offering organic, Fairtrade, low cholestrol, low fat and gluten free foods. My main reason for offering these types of food is because I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease more than seven years ago and my mum has had it since birth. It is near on imposible to get a gluten free snack, especially in Risca."

Coffee Bean can be found at 49 Tredegar Street, Risca.
