Gwynedd Council is currently conducting a survey of local businesses to ensure that future support is focused on their needs.
The Council’s Research and Information Unit is working in partnership with Gwynedd Council’s Business Support Unit to conduct the poll which will gauge the sector’s opinions of the business environment in terms of employment, training, recruitment and business growth.
This survey is part of Gwynedd Council’s economic plan to respond to the recession which was launched in 2009 – which was one of the very first in Wales.
Councillor John Wynn Jones, Gwynedd Council Portfolio Leader for Economy and Community, said:
“The last two years has been very challenging period for our businesses, but by working together and careful planning we are confident that we can ensure that Gwynedd firms are on firm foundations for the future.
“I would urge Gwynedd businesses – whatever their size or scope – to complete the questionnaire. The more information the Council has about economic trends and how they change over the time, the better the support the Council will be able to provide.
“Some of the schemes that are already in place in Gwynedd, such as local government contract tendering events and advice and town centre support packages, are as a direct result of listening to what local businesses have told us. It is therefore vitally important that more people contact us to have their say so that we can focus on what needs to be completed.”
To take part in the survey, visit Gwynedd Council’s website www.gwynedd.gov.uk/businesssurvey before Friday, 11 November 2011. For further information, or for assistance in completing the survey, contact Gwynedd Council’s Business Support Unit on 01286 679778 or e-mail [email protected]
