 The Micro Small Business Fund supports capital investment projects in the tourism sector. It can be used either to upgrade existing or create new high quality product. My name is John Lloyd, I'm the Managing Director of Inigo Jones Slateworks. We're a slate company that produces items from natural well slate and we're also now a tourist attraction. I'm Chloe Francis Oakley and I'm the owner of Cobbles Kitchen and Daddy. Cobbles is a restaurant in Orwell by Sea in the Vale of Glamorgan. Basically it's a scheme where we spend £80,000 and we're getting a £26,000 grant from the Rural Development Fund. The object of the scheme is to improve our tourist attraction, basically especially for overseas visitors. The Tourism Investment Support Scheme is a grant initiative offered by the Welsh Government and the European Community to help businesses in Wales become more attractive to tourists. So we applied for that to expand our offering and help us to become more attractive business tourists. The process of applying for the fund is very simple, basically to fill in an application form, expression of interest, and thereafter you get more questions and you give answers to those questions. So it's quite a simple process to be fair. The funding helped us pay for a massive upgrade to our kitchen so we relocated our kitchen and installed a top of the range kitchen and extraction facilities and we upgraded our courtyard area so it's all landscaped with cobbles. The funding is absolutely essential for a rural company like ourselves. Basically in a rural area and tourist related it's seasonal and basically you have to make your money in a short period of time. We use all local suppliers for our ingredients. There was local builders working on the project and we employ 27 local people. Basically we work with local attractions and attractions of Sidonia which is a marketing consortia to promote the whole region. And also we're members of the Gwynedd Bidsas Network which is an organisation for all types of businesses in Gwynedd. Since the expansion of cobbles, the flagship store I'd like to call it, there have been opportunities that have risen to locations elsewhere. So we are looking at expanding our offering into whether coastal areas or rural areas in Wales. We're always looking to improve and upgrade and it just depends how it goes sort of thing. The more successful they are, the more we can invest in the future if the profit line is there. I think it's really important that the Welsh Government is supporting rural areas because Wales is more rural than urban. And often these areas get overlooked so it's really good that we can feel the support of the Government to help businesses like ours.
