Sustainable building experts in the spotlight at key Cardiff event

Melin Consultants, the fast-growing South Wales firm of environment and sustainability experts, will be in the spotlight at a top construction industry networking event on Thursday (February 23).
The Llanelli-based company will be the ‘showcase’ business at The Last Thursday club meeting at the Novotel Hotel in Cardiff (12.30pm).
“The Last Thursday Club is always a very popular networking event for the construction industry and regular pulls in crowds of 100-plus,” said Leanne Maunder, the administrator for the club.
“We get businesses attending from all over South Wales and some from over the border in Bristol so it is always a very worthwhile get-together for all concerned.
“We are always keen to welcome new members, particularly those from West Wales.”
The networking club meets on the last Thursday of every month, except for July, August and December.
Melin director Jamie Best said he was looking forward to the networking meeting.
He said: “We offer specialist technical services which are earning us a great reputation here in West Wales, but we are starting to make our mark in Cardiff and further afield as we have just opened a new office in Bristol.
“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 Mr 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 recently 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.

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

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.
