Pembrokeshire Supply Chain Alliance

“Team Pembrokeshire!”


Collaborating for a Stronger, Greener Local Economy

Team Pembrokeshire is a new partnership of major employers and anchor organisations in the county, working together to decarbonise their operations and strengthen the local supply chain.

Why It Matters

The challenge of reducing carbon emissions and achieving sustainability targets is one that many organisations face. But rather than working in isolation, Team Pembrokeshire members are coming together to share knowledge, align their approaches, and explore ways to support each other on their sustainability journeys.

Who’s Involved?

The alliance, facilitated by 4theRegion, brings together key local organisations, including:

  • Bluestone Wales
  • Milford Haven Port Authority
  • Pembrokeshire College
  • Pembrokeshire County Council
  • Puffin Produce
  • Folly Farm
  • Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

More Pembrokeshire-owned businesses and organisations are joining all the time, recognising that by working together, they can achieve more than they could alone.

What We’re Working On

The project has two core strands:

1️⃣ Knowledge Sharing & Standardisation

  • Organisations are collaborating on carbon reporting and reduction strategies.
  • They are exploring ways to align methodologies and share expertise, so businesses of all sizes can learn from those further ahead on the journey.
  • The aim is to standardise best practice where possible, making it easier for SMEs to engage with and meet procurement requirements.

2️⃣ Strengthening the Local Supply Chain

  • The alliance is looking at how major local employers can redirect more of their procurement spend into the Pembrokeshire economy.
  • By working with local SMEs, the group aims to develop a stronger, greener, and more resilient supply chain.
  • Encouraging local suppliers to improve their sustainability and carbon reduction efforts, helping them stay competitive and take advantage of new opportunities in the green economy.
  • Supporting businesses to meet sustainability and procurement standards, so they can win contracts, grow, and succeed in a low-carbon future.

Cartref Creative — A New Network for Creatives

Cartref Creative — A New Network for Creatives

Cartref Creative held its first event on Wednesday the 24th of January at the Urban Kitchen in Swansea. Cartref Creative is a new network for creatives that was born out of conversations at the 4theRegion conference in 2023.

The network is a home for creatives that aims to create spaces – both digital and physical – where creatives across the region can meet, socialise, learn and collaborate. It was founded by digital creator James Dovey, graphic designer Alice Jones, writer and producer Roger Williams, filmmaker James Owen of Stori, creative problem solver Lee Bazalgette and director of Waters Creative, Rachael Wheatley.

The team have wrestled with how a network for creatives across west Wales should operate and have designed Cartref Creative to be a movement that will evolve to meet the needs and desires of the creative community over time.

Cartref Creative is run by creatives. This is one of the principles that makes Cartref Creative different. Creatives will set the agenda and realise the initiatives. Live events will happen in different locations across west Wales and across creative disciplines.

The digital platform will offer a place for individuals to promote their work and there will be a library of resources to inspire and educate.

At the Urban Kitchen event, three creative leaders from west Wales spoke about their experience of running a creative initiative. Richard Davies of Parthian Books, Brigid Loizou of art gallery Studio Cennen in Llandeilo, and Alun Jones of the digital agency Libera, shared the story of how they started and grew their operations and spoke of the challenges and opportunities of running their businesses in west Wales.

The event was sponsored by Sky Ad Smart, and Peter Roberts and Huw Potter spoke of how their operation works and how creatives might be able to work in partnership with them to create content for advertisers.

The Cartref Creative team invite creatives living in south-west Wales to sign up to the mailing list by going to www.cartrefcreative.cymru and would like to invite individuals interested in becoming an organiser of events to get in touch.

Rhwydwaith i bobl greadigol sy’n byw yn ne orllewin Cymru yw Cartref Creative. Bydd y grwp yn creu gofodau – digidol a go iawn – ar gyfer crewyr sydd eisiau cyfarfod, cymdeithasu, dysgu a chydweithio. Bydd y platfform digidol yn safle we sy’n hyrwyddo gwaith yr aelodau ac yn cyhoeddi adnoddau addysgol ac ysbrydoledig.

Yn y digwyddiad byw cyntaf yn Abertawe ym mis Ionawr buodd y cyhoeddwr Richard Davies o Parthian Books, Brigid Loizou o Studio Cennen yn Llandeilo ac Alun Jones o’r asiantaeth ddigidol Libera yn trafod eu busnesau a’r heriau sy’n eu hwynebu nhw. Noddwyd y digwyddiad gan Sky Ad Smart.

Mae Cartref Creative yn awyddus i drefnu digwyddiadau yn y Gymraeg. Os hoffech ymuno â ni yn y daith ewch at www.cartrefcreative.cymru
