CBI Wales is the national arm of the UK’s leading business organisation, representing companies across size and sector, and feeding Welsh priorities directly into UK wide policy discussions. From infrastructure and skills to planning and energy transition, working with members and government to shape a competitive, sustainable business environment for all.
Director Russell Greenslade leads this work in Wales, drawing on experience across regional economic development and business leadership to broker in his words “a true team effort between business and government”. CBI Wales convenes firms around common challenges, contributes evidence to inquiries, and highlights both barriers and opportunities, from investment zones and transport links to the availability of premises and access to finance.
For investors, CBI Wales is a signal that there is a mature, organised private sector voice engaged in shaping policy. Through Russell and his team, incoming businesses can quickly understand the wider economic context, connect into peer networks, and contribute to debates that will influence Wales's future competitiveness.
