LOCAL MP Mark Williams took to the sea on a visit to Swallow Boats at Gwbert this week, with Company Director Matthew Newland and a prospective client.

The three sailed towards Cardigan Island, before returning to the boat yard.

Mark Williams said: “It was excellent to spend time hearing about this excellent local company and its plans for expansion, as well as seeing first hand our very special and beautiful south Ceredigion coastline.

“Swallow Boats provides some very specialist employment for local people, and it was good to hear they intend to expand in the future – a real Ceredigion success story, and tribute to the Newland family and their workforce.”
