Economy Secretary, Ken Skates, was in Llandudno last week for the the unveiling of Boots Hearingcare’s new offices.

Boots Hearingcare, and its predecessor David Ormerod Hearing Centres Ltd have been at the site in Llandudno since 2012, when there were just over 20 employees working at the Support Office.

The Welsh Government invested £250,000 into the development of the new facilities, which now contain 90 employees working to support a network of more than 500 Boots Hearingcare centres across the UK.

The refurbished offices, which have been transformed by companies from within the area, now not only have additional desk space that allows the business to recruit more people from the region, but also provide a better working environment and employee experience for existing colleagues.

Mr Skates said: "I am delighted that Welsh Government support has helped to expand the Boots Hearingcare offices in Llandudno maintaining their presence in the town centre and helping to protect and create jobs.

“Our support for Boots Hearingcare is absolutely in line with our Economic Action Plan which seeks to support the development and adoption of new technologies and spread the fruits of economic prosperity much more evenly across Wales.

“I wish the company and the workers every success in its improved and expanded home."

Rob Skedge, Managing Director of Boots Hearingcare, added: “The investment from the Welsh Government not only shows their commitment to supporting local business, but also helping it grow.

"We are delighted to be able to further expand our team at the Boots Hearingcare Support Office and look forward to our future here in Llandudno.”

Guests at the unveiling were given tours of the refurbished offices. During the ceremony Mr Skates unveiled a plaque to commemorate the official reopening of the Support Office.
