The newly refurbished industrial units in the Amman Valley have welcomed its first tenant.

Mal Walker Maintenance which provides servicing for cooling systems and general engineering maintenance for green energy companies nationally has moved into Glanaman Workshops.

Carmarthenshire County Council has invested £1million renovating the Glanaman Workshops on Tabernacle Road, which are now available to let to local businesses on flexible lease terms.

Rents range between £235 and £525 per month. Ten tenants have already been attracted to the site, but three units are still available.

The redevelopment offers 13 industrial units for business, general industrial, storage or distribution use.

The council wants to encourage job creation and increase supply and demand of industrial units in the area.

The council’s executive board member for resources, Cllr David Jenkins said: “We are pleased to accommodate Mal Walker Maintenance.

"The development has provided Mr Walker with a new, high-quality and convenient base in the Amman Valley which is perfect for his business’ needs, and we wish him all the very best.

"Many of the units are currently under offer and we only have three left.

"The renovation and revival of these workshops has been a commitment of mine since my election so I’m extremely pleased to see phase one completed.

"We now look forward to moving on to the second phase which is a further £1million investment from our five-year capital programme for the remaining block of 13 units.”
