Jobs Growth Wales helps Confederate Chemicals

Confederate Chemicals in Newtown where operations manager John Hextall said “Confederate Chemicals has had a very positive experience with JGW. 

“We had a new job in our laboratory and took on Nia-Faith Williams, a school leaver, who has turned out to be an excellent hire and is contributing to both the chemical and sales teams.

“In addition, we received funding of about £3,000 to help offset the employment costs. I would recommend the programme to any employer looking to create a sustainable new job aimed at someone under 25 years of age.”

“We were a bit dubious about the programme at first, but we found that there are some good, keen young people out there looking for opportunities.

“We are pleased with the funding support, as it does take a number of months to get people up to speed with our systems of work. We were keen to start increasing our internal headcount and thought the programme would be a cost-effective method of doing it.”
