Garan Evans, Scarlets Key Account Manager, comments, “We are delighted to be teaming up with Aspire 2Be for this innovative new partnership. Engaging with our community is a huge part of our ethos at the Scarlets and we are looking forward to working with Aspire 2Be in developing digital skills in business across our region.”

Scarlets Rugby have a strong presence within Llanelli and the wider West Wales region. Scarlets Community Foundation is an integral part of the region, working closely with schools, grassroots clubs and businesses to develop community links and support.

Aspire 2Be will be working together with Scarlets Rugby to offer key digital services into businesses in the region. With a broad portfolio of digital tools, resources and platforms, and as a Professional Development Partner for Apple, Google and Microsoft, Aspire 2Be are ideally placed to provide training, CPD and support into businesses.

In order to utilise their excellent community links, Aspire 2Be will be working closely with Scarlets Rugby to introduce opportunities to provide businesses with the chance to invest in their digital competencies. In particular, this partnership will focus on promoting fully funded digital skills training to businesses in Wales. This is an initiative made possible through the Welsh Government, who are investing in fully funded digital skills courses in order to upskill Welsh businesses in the digital sphere.

“We are extremely excited about how we can support Welsh businesses on their digital change and professional development journeys going forward,” comments Aspire 2Be Managing Director, Simon Pridham, “we are very proud to be working with such an iconic sports brand such as Scarlets Rugby, who hold such strong community values and such a proud heritage. They are such a key part of the business community in and around Llanelli and West Wales, and we feel that this partnership will be one of great mutual value .”
