“Since joining the committee in March 2018, Cwlwm's profile and membership has gone from strength to strength, and our presence on social media channels has increased significantly. No doubt, Cwlwm Busnes has much to offer the business association in Cardiff - and we hope that we offer members opportunities to network and share their skills and expertise in a fun and friendly atmosphere."
