He made sure we successfully achieved this milestone in December 2012, with fantastic value for money and quality delivery.

Creating Enterprise’s mission is to be the “social contractor of choice” delivering property maintenance, facility management and new build services to private and public sector clients. At the same time, Creating Enterprise offers employment and training opportunities to out of work Cartrefi Conwy tenants. Creating Enterprise is growing from strength to strength, with increasing turnover reinvested into jobs and training.
