At its new office unveiling in Wentloog, Liberal
Democrat Assembly Member Eluned Parrott, pays tribute to the work done by government
software supplier Zipporah in providing cost saving solutions to government and
a boost to Welsh economy.
Located a short
drive from Cardiff’s city centre in Wentloog, Capital Business Park played host
to September celebrations as Zipporah marked the official opening of its new
home with the welcome support from Eluned Parrott, Liberal Democrat AM.
The day saw
Eluned join the Welsh Business, first meeting with Directors Scott
Burton and Emma Powell to discuss the company’s recent growth and investment
into new markets.
Scott Burton shared his thoughts on the meeting, commenting
“When we heard that Eluned would be joining us, we were thrilled. This
was a big day for us and to have the support of the Welsh Liberal Democrat
Shadow Minister for Business was a big positive. Eluned demonstrated a real awareness
of the issues facing Welsh businesses. It gives me a lot of personal comfort to
know that we’re being represented within government by informed and concerned
politicians such as Eluned”
Emma Powell joined her Co-Director, adding
“Eluned is exactly the sort of personality that Welsh business needs and
can draw a lot of support from. One of the primary topics we spent some time
talking about was the promise and importance of recruiting graduate level
candidates with the clear skills, who perhaps were struggling to make that
first leap onto the career ladder. With Cardiff such a popular student
destination, it’s encouraging to hear a political voice that wants to retain
those numbers to settle graduates into working life here. That’s an important
step if Wales is to grow in the future”.
A tour of its
new work environment drew praise from Eluned, hailing the surroundings as a
sign that the business was investing well to get the most out of its
operations.
“It is a real pleasure to see a business planning
carefully for sustainable growth right here in Wales. The new offices give
Zipporah room to breath and grow as a business, and I'm sure will be the
perfect launchpad for the next stage in their development as a company. The
talent and ability of the staff are a business's number one asset, and
investing in a positive working environment, alongside their commitment to
training and professional development, demonstrates the extent to which
Zipporah values their team."
With rallied
conclusions, and with proceedings moving on to main agenda for the day, one
task remained, the cutting of the ribbon - to which Eluned took on proud
ownership, declaring the site officially open.
Congratulating
the company on its success, Eluned helped to sign off the day saying
“I'd like to congratulate the staff and management of
Zipporah on their success as a company, and wish them the very best in their
new home. Innovative, knowledge-led companies such as this are a huge
asset to our economy, taking Welsh expertise and Welsh talent to the World. I
shall watch them grow and develop with great interest in the future."
Emma Powell
closed with her thoughts.
“Everyone associated with Zipporah Ltd would like to thank Eluned for
visiting us and seeing for herself how our commitment to continuous innovation
has helped us go from strength to strength. Eluned’s contribution towards this
memorable day was greatly received among our team. There’s a definite buzz
about the place that we’re glad Eluned could be a part of”
