New: Money As An Ingredient – a podcast by the Sustainable Scale Up Cluster 

EP1 – Getting The Right Money with Alun Thomas, Development Bank of Wales 

If you’re planning on visiting the Investor Zone at Taste Wales later this month to meet with one of the investors or finance providers, this podcast is for you! 

With Taste Wales now only two weeks away, we sent John Taylerson from the Sustainable Scale Up Cluster to the Development Bank of Wales in Cardiff’s Capital Quarter to meet Alun Thomas, Regional Manager and member of the Sustainable Scale Up Cluster’s Advisory Board.   

John was keen to find out from Alun what he looks for when Welsh food and drink SME’s approach him for finance, and what should your business plan look like?
