Media tales set to inspire Carmarthenshire business

I've just put the finishing touches to the April newslettter of Carmarthenshire's FSB (Federation of Small Businesses) branch.

It's a great way of keeping the 600 county-wide members in touch with the local, regional and Welsh worlds of business.
The membership is so diverse that not every news items will interest them all. However, the hope is that there's plenty to inspire.
April's edition includes:
Click News of Chancellor Alistair Darling delivering Budget help for small businesses
Click A House of Commons reception highlighting the need for a publicly owned bank run through the Post Office Network.
Click Businesses heading for Llanelli’s Machynys Peninsula Golf and Country Club to learn how to tap into the lucrative golfing tourism market.
Click News of an industrial park that could create 1,500 jobs for Carmarthenshire or Neath.
