Shownotes

Cardiff Capital Region’s loan to Zip World helped to transform Tower Colliery, which was the oldest continually-working coal mine in the UK until 2008, into a landmark adventure attraction. Host Gemma Casey is joined by Sean Taylor, Founder of Zip World, Kellie Beirne, CEO of Cardiff Capital Region and Councillor Anthony Hunt, leader of Torfaen County Borough Council and vice chair of Cardiff Capital Region, to discuss how this strategic investment in place-making has driven regeneration, created employment opportunities, and built investor confidence.
