Dan Langford, Group Marketing Director of Acorn, one of the UK’s leading recruitment and training agencies said, “With our head offices in South Wales, a highlight for us is the excellent news that the UK Government has committed itself, in principle, to supporting the city deal for the Cardiff Capital Region.
“This will help kick-start some tremendous developments for South East Wales, which in time will prove transformational for everyone who lives, works and studies here, and will have a direct impact on improving the GVA right across the region.
“The announcement about the building of 400,000 new houses is also a welcome boost to the construction industry and its supply chains, and the continuing support to develop apprenticeships can only be good for the labour market and the economy over the longer-term.”
