Pembrokeshire – A County of Opportunity
Pembrokeshire is rightly renowned for its castles, beaches, coastal path, theme parks like Oakwood, Heatherton and Folly Farm, hotels and guest houses but the warm welcome afforded to visitors is also on offer for those who wish to come into the county to help develop it commercially.
It is a county of opportunity that is waiting for those with new ideas that will intrigue both visitors and local residents, but also for others who wish to take on existing businesses and raise their profile.
There are now good road and rail links to all major cities in Great Britain and a long-standing link with Ireland through our ferry services at Fishguard and Pembroke Dock. These arteries allow visitors to throng to the area to see lovely places like St David’s Cathedral, Pembroke Castle, the Preseli Hills and Skomer Island but also allow goods to be easily transported out by those who set up in the supplying of goods to others, with an eager work force available for full-time or part-time work.
Pembrokeshire also allows those who take the step to come here for commercial reasons to enjoy the serene lifestyle that encourages the growth of young families in an area where there are lots to do but where there is freedom to go out at night without fear.
Enterprising people have taken their ideas to fruition, as at Oakwood and Folly Farm, where farming has changed to the provision of large-scale leisure activities, or on a smaller scale, like those who have opened restaurants, bed and breakfasts and small hotels. A number of former residents have also returned to the area and found niches for themselves in setting up small businesses that serve the community.
More and more people are changing their holiday allegiances from abroad or from overcrowded areas like the South-West of England and it could be your newly-formed commercial enterprise which is one that will serve them well and give you success in a business venture.
The opportunities are undoubtedly here in Pembrokeshire!
