Kevin Green a keynote speaker at Spotlight West Wales

Social entrepreneur Kevin Green was one of the keynote speakers at a major business conference in Carmarthen.

The Burry Port businessman said he was delighted to get the opportunity to champion the business opportunities in Wales - and West Wales, in particular.
The event was Spotlight West Wales 2013 and it was held at the Halliwell Centre at the University of Wales Trinity St David in Carmarthen.
Spotlight West Wales was a one-day event designed to focus on the region’s achievements, identify new opportunities and offer a range of ways to boost business.
This year’s theme was Creating Opportunities and the event was based on the highly successful Spotlight North Wales and Spotlight Mid Wales conferences.
The aim of the day was to inspire, educate and bring businesses and organisations together to form positive working relationships in order to grow and prosper.
The Welsh Government was the main sponsor and the event was made possible as a result of positive collaboration between a range of key partners wishing to see a bright economic future for West Wales.
Speakers included Dr Paul Thomas, better known as The Business Doctor, Jeff Cuthbert AM, the Welsh Government's Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology, and Jo Fairley, the co-founder of Green and Black's organic chocolate company.
The event was hosted by renowned Welsh broadcaster Sara Edwards.

Mr Green said: "Speaking in my own 'back yard' at a major business event was a real treat. It was great to meet so many businesspeople who care passionately about putting West Wales on the business map. There's a great entrepreneurial spirit in West Wales and we should be very proud at what many businesses are trying to achieve."
