Wales

摘要

Gareth Davies, Cardiff: I have lived and worked in Wales most of my life and despite the many differences with England it has many of the same problems. Recession hit Wales hard with many casualties within the profession and it is only now starting to recover, mostly in the residential sector. I represent a large practice here, but most are small one and two man bands that work in a different bit of the economy. Mine is driven by the public sector, OJEU's, PQQ's, ITT's and frameworks. Theirs is more private sector, secured through word of mouth recommendation or just continuing to give clients a damn good service. If you are good at either then you will probably have gener- ally succeeded during this recession.
