Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid Announces New Strategic Partner
The partnership reflects both organisations' commitment to contributing to economic development and shaping a thriving, forward-looking business ecosystem, Chambers said.
Tramshed Tech was founded in 2016 with a mission to create connected workspaces for tech, digital and creative business owners in Wales. Originally located in Grangetown's historic Tramshed building, Tramshed Tech has expanded across south Wales with locations now in Barry, Cardiff, Newport and Swansea.
In addition to providing coworking, event, meeting, office and podcast spaces, the organisation delivers a range of programmes and skills training to support founders at varying stages of growth, from idea generation and product market fit to investor readiness and international export.
Tramshed Tech has chosen to become a partner of the Chamber to strengthen its connection with the wider business community and support its mission of fostering innovation and growth among startups and scaleups.
Through the partnership, the organisation will support Chamber members by offering discounted access to its ecosystem of businesses and tech innovators through events, training and collaboration opportunities, bridging the gap between traditional industries and the tech sector.
As a strategic partner, Tramshed Tech will also benefit from exposure to the Chamber's network of established businesses, partners and policymakers across Wales.
Rich Harris, Chief Operating Officer at Tramshed Tech, said:
'We're thrilled to formalise our partnership with Chambers Wales, which represents a significant step in connecting Wales' traditional business landscape with its growing tech and digital ecosystem. At Tramshed Tech, we've built a community that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and shared growth across our network of spaces throughout south Wales.
'This partnership creates a valuable exchange: Chamber members gain access to our innovation ecosystem, workspace solutions, and skills development opportunities, while our tech community benefits from the Chamber's established business networks and visibility. Together, we're building bridges between sectors that will drive Welsh businesses forward.'
Penny Lock, Director of Partnerships and Business Development at Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid, said:
'We're thrilled to welcome Tramshed Tech on board as a partner. This partnership opens doors for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and shared initiatives that drive innovation and regional growth between their interconnected community and our members and partners.'

Emergency message everyone in the UK will get within weeks is revealed
An emergency alert system will ring out on Brit's mobile phones in upcoming government tests. Alarm bells sent straight to your mobile will be tested at around 3pm on September 7, in the United Kingdom's second-ever nationwide drill. A high-pitched alarm will sound on around 87million mobile devices causing them to vibrate for ten seconds. A message will appear on the screen making it clear the alert is only a test, and the message has been published in advance to prepare for the drill. The alert will read: 'This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a UK government service that will warn you if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby. 'You do not need to take any action. In a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe. 'Find simple and effective advice on how to prepare for emergencies at 'Visit for more information or to view this message in Welsh. Ewch i am ragor o wybodaeth neu i weld y neges hon yn y Gymraeg.' The alert service is being tested regularly to ensure it still works as intended, to send a text message to mobile phones on both 4G and 5G networks in the UK. Some Brits complained that some networks didn't get the alert warning of potential life-threatening danger nearby in April 2023. The system has already been used in several scenarios, including when lives were put at risk when Storm Eowyn swept the country in January, and when an unexploded World War II bomb was found in Plymouth. It was also used during Storm Darragh in December 2024, sending alerts to 3.5million people, and during localised flash flooding in Cumbria and Leicestershire. Tracey Lee, chief executive of Plymouth City Council, said the alert 'proved to be an invaluable tool during the Keyham bomb operation'. She added: 'This was the first time the system had been used in a real emergency, and it played a vital role in helping us safely evacuate over 10,000 people and coordinate a complex, multi-agency response.' Ahead of the national test, ministers are spearheading a public awareness campaign to ensure people understand when it is taking place. It will also aim to draw attention of the test to vulnerable groups like those facing domestic abuse, who may have secret mobile phones which they want to remain hidden from their partners. Pat McFadden, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, is the Cabinet Office minister who has taken charge of efforts to boost national resilience against crises. More Trending He said: 'Emergency alerts have the potential to save lives, allowing us to share essential information rapidly in emergency situations including extreme storms. 'Just like the fire alarm in your house, it's important we test the system so that we know it will work if we need it.' People can opt out from the tests by accessing the government website.
