A newly established plumbing and heating firm in the Caerphilly county borough is so confident it can meet the aspirations of customers that the owner has called the business ‘Satisfaction’.
Rhymney-based Jeff Pearce was recently made redundant after working for local company for over 7 years. After much consideration he was encouraged to set up his own business by the favourable comments his customers had given him in the past.
“Setting up a new business can be a daunting prospect and I was uncertain about a number of issues, but thankfully I was offered a lot of support from the council and other local agencies” said Jeff. “The fact that I could access money from the Heads of the Valleys Business Seed Capital Fund was also a big boost and I’d like to thank all concerned for their help.”
Realising that training and qualifications are very important for operating safely in the gas industry, Jeff worked hard to become Gas Safe registered (formally Corgi registration) and ACS Gas accredited.
His qualifications will enable him to provide an installation and call out service for local builders, local authorities and the public.
Cllr Ron Davies, CCBC cabinet member for regeneration said, “The Heads of the Valleys Business Seed fund is giving fledgling businesses a much-needed boost and this is particularly important in the current financial climate. I would urge local entrepreneurs to get in touch to find out more about the range of support that is available – from funding through to help with ICT and finding the right business property.”
