One of our five priorities at St David’s Business Centre is to reduce our carbon footprint. In support of this, we have continued to invest in low energy lighting, replacing the fluorescent lights previously common throughout the building. This has now progressed to 80% replacement of all light fittings and we are on track to complete the project by 2024.

Beyond lighting, we have also removed redundant pipework to further eliminate waste in our heating system. An evaluation is underway to reduce the capacity of the hot water stored in the heating system to improve efficiency while continuing to meet its demands.

In addition, we are currently assessing potential for electric vehicle charging and solar energy generation on site.

It has come to attention that Chris our caretaker has now completed over 25 years of service at St Davids’ Business Centre. When we originally took on the Business Centre, Chris came very highly recommended by the previous owners. Since that time, he has proven himself invaluable in looking after clients and often going above and beyond what would normally be expected. Many thanks for your support Chris, and we look forward to many more years working together.

In September 2021, St David’s Business Centre was placed under new management as David Richards and his family sold the business to concentrate on their agricultural and renewable energy businesses.

The new team is headed by Peter Davies who has a passion for helping local business and has over 20 years of experience in commercial property development and management. He is supported by Shuai Davies, who takes care of accounts and administration.

Our caretaker Chris remains a core part of the team. He brings intimate knowledge of the building and looks after our clients day-to-day. He is joined by Maisie who supports him in maintaining a high level of cleanliness throughout the building.

The intent of the new team is to keep the standards set by the previous owners that have maintained the building in top condition over the years. Building on this foundation, we have laid out five priorities for the coming years in order to best serve our clients:

1. Tailor space and facilities to match evolving client needs
2. Sustainability reduce operating costs to maintain our value proposition
3. Manage health and safety risks effectively
4. Reduce carbon emissions wherever practical
5. Support local charities and communities
