Some good news on the jobs front
More and more people are thinking of going it alone and setting up their own businesses, said the WAG Enterprise Service official yesterday at Mold market.
And who can blame them what with the continued round of redundancies [Today: 200 jobs lost when factory closes | Wednesday: 93 jobs to be cut at Llandyrnog cheese plant | Tuesday: 40 jobs to go in Oswestry as firm closes].
That said, market day in Mold was busy yesterday. People were spending.
I was in town to meet a group of people looking to set themselves up in business. They had come together on a business start-up course run by WAG and were taking part in a challenge to put their business skills to use.
There was a great sense of 'we're in it together' as a lot of the other local businesses and organisations with shop fronts in town rallied round them. You can find out more here.
Recent start-ups Tasters Delicatessen provided lunch, Tracy Edwards' Ashfield Images took photos to act as a record of the day, as well as others.
It makes a change to have something positive to say about the jobs front.
