Secret Millionaire opens Ajuda Training Academy


Kevin Green, star of Channel 4 show Secret Millionaire, was on hand today to officially open a new training centre in Cardiff.
The self-made multi-millionaire and social entrepreneur cut the ribbon on Ajuda Ltd’s new Training Academy at Mount Stuart Square in Cardiff Bay.
Set up four years ago by managing director Dawn Evans, Ajuda provides a range of courses in first aid training, manual handling, asbestos awareness, fire safety, food hygiene and lifeguard training to businesses and individuals.
The company now employs four staff and more than 30 associate trainers, and has recently seen the 20,000th delegate complete one of its courses.
The Training Academy, at 15 Mount Stuart Square, is over three floors and includes specialist suites for both academic-based courses and practical hands-on training.
Ajuda, which has moved to Cardiff Bay from the Jasmine Enterprise Centre in Ely, which is being developed as a community hub by Cardiff council, also has a satellite office in Ruthin, Denbighshire.
Mr Green agreed to open Ajuda’s new base after Mrs Evans enrolled in the Kevin Green Wealth 90-Day business coaching programme earlier this year.
“Having started with just myself working from home and fitting in training around my family commitments, Ajuda has gone from strength to strength over the past four years because of the quality courses we offer and the expertise of the staff we now employ,” said Mrs Evans.
“With this move to the Ajuda Training Academy, we can offer specialist facilities that will give both businesses and individuals access to the must up-to-date knowledge and practical support available.
“I am delighted that Kevin agreed to open our new base. As a successful entrepreneur himself, he was able to see how the hard work of my team and I has built a successful business that is continuing to grow by providing excellent service and courses of the highest quality.”
Mr Green said: “Dawn's enthusiasm and determination to succeed is the main reason that Ajuda is achieving significant growth as a training company.
“Dawn believes in putting the customer first, which is essential in any service business.
“I'm a passionate supporter of the entrepreneurial spirit in Wales and am delighted to be able to support Dawn on a landmark day for Ajuda.”

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

She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers.
