Welsh in Business

As part of the Welsh Language Promotion Plan 2018-2023, the Council has committed to ensure that:

• the private and business sector gives the Welsh language value and status and understands its value as a skill and a business asset.
• an increased awareness amongst business owners and managers of the benefits of Welsh language skills in the workforce and the benefits of offering Welsh-medium services.

The Council is working with local businesses, especially in the tourist and leisure sectors, to giving advice on how to give Welsh an active platform in their business activities.Help and advice is availableI for new as well as established businesses, in whatever field they may be involved in.
