Tramshed Tech, ‘The Home of Startups in Wales’, has opened its new co-working hub in Barry’s Goodsheds complex, offering workspaces, business support services and skills training to entrepreneurs, startups and scaling businesses.

Tramshed Tech has secured partnerships with industry leaders across the UK and Europe unlocking an impactful network to their members and delivering access to programmes such as the Barclay Eagle Labs and maker spaces.

2022 has seen Tramshed Tech expand across South Wales, with new locations now open in One Central Square, Cardiff; Griffin House, Newport Market; and now Goodsheds, Barry, with two more openings due in 2023.

Tramshed Tech also runs an a Startup Academy - the next one being on November 10 - designed to support pre-start and early-stage businesses in tech, digital and creative industries.

Lis Burnett, leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: "The Goodsheds is a hugely imaginative and successful urban regeneration project and a great example of collaboration between the public and private sectors, brought about by developer DS Properties, the Vale of Glamorgan Council, Welsh Government and Newydd Housing Association.

“It is a fantastic development that has breathed new life into an important and historic local building and created much needed jobs, homes and leisure facilities for the benefit of Barry and beyond. It is part of widespread regeneration work taking place across Barry and follows on from a series of similar schemes.

“I’m delighted that Tramshed Tech has also now become part of the project, providing the perfect environment and expert support for new digital businesses.”
