Sustainable building experts move into new offices in Llanelli

A growing company which is totally tuned in to the construction industry buzzwords of ‘environment and sustainability’ has moved its offices to Llanelli. 
Melin Consultants is fast building a Wales-wide reputation as one of the industry experts on sustainable construction.
“We specialise in all the things which people value in the construction industry today – getting environmental issues right and making sure buildings are as sustainable as possible,” said Melin director Jamie Best.
“It’s an exciting time for the building and construction industry with everyone appreciating the value of getting it right first time in terms of energy savings and sustainability.
“We are right up there in the vanguard when it comes to technical expertise in this area. We’re probably not on the radar as far as members of the public are concerned, but our name and reputation is growing day by day.”
The company has relocated its HQ from Tycroes, near Ammanford, to Llys Aur on the Llanelli Gate business park at Dafen, Llanelli.
“Today, the business has eight employees and our new location in Llanelli provides us with an impressive Carmarthenshire home with good links to the motorway,” said Mr Best.
“In building today, sustainability is high on everyone’s list of priorities as we have all come to appreciate the need to make sure everything is as environmentally-sensitive as possible
“We may be one of the best kept secrets in West Wales when it comes to the general public knowing what we do, but we won’t be for much longer as demand is increasing for our services.
“Our customers include construction firms and architects and, in fact, anyone involved in a building project.
“As an example, we are involved with WRW Construction and Carmarthenshire Council in the new Ysgol y Ffwrnes (Furnace Primary School) project in Llanelli. Our focus for the new school is to assess the overall site sustainability measures.
“We also do work for other South Wales local authorities, including Swansea, Neath-Port Talbot, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
“We take great pride in the fact that we are a Carmarthenshire-based team. We are a local company employing local people and meeting local needs
“Technically, we have a great deal of expertise to offer. For example, the company has licences to provide advice on sustainable construction. We are also members of the Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers Low Carbon Consultants scheme.
“We also offer air tightness testing services, which is a way of testing for air leakage in new buildings and identifying bad site practices.
“This work is now a mandatory requirement for most new buildings, regardless of size and shape, and has provided the construction industry with a much-needed measure of a contractor’s performance.
“It is all well and good subscribing to sustainable design, but, if it is not built correctly, then a building will never perform as it should.
“Obviously, our client list includes large building companies, but we are equally at home working for individuals keen to make sure that the dream home they are building is as sustainable and as environmentally friendly as possible.”

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things.
