Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid has announced Tramshed Tech as its latest 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.

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.

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.'

Bute Energy hosts 'meet the buyer' event in Ystrad Mynach
The 'Meet the Buyer' event took place at Penallta Rugby Club hosted by Bute Energy, the developer behind the Twyn Hywel Energy Park in Caerphilly. The event connected businesses and charities from Caerphilly, Rhondda, and Gwent with Bute Energy's shortlisted civil engineering contractors, giving them a chance to pitch services for the multi-million pound onshore wind project. Catryn Newton, community investment and communications director at Bute Energy, said: "At Bute Energy, we're doing everything possible to unlock every single opportunity our investment in onshore wind provides for the benefit of local people, businesses, and services. "The success of the event shows the strength of the local supply chain here in Caerphilly and RCT and is proof of the interest in the opportunities to contribute towards Wales' journey towards clean energy. "Our thanks goes to the 70 businesses and services who joined us in Ystrad Mynach." The Twyn Hywel Energy Park is the first of Bute Energy's developments to receive planning consent and includes 14 wind turbines. Once operational, the site is expected to generate enough electricity to power 81,000 homes by 2027. It will also create hundreds of jobs both directly and through the wider supply chain. The project includes a community investment fund of nearly £700,000 per year for 40 years. Matthew Tucker, chair of Caerphilly Business Club, said: 'Twyn Hywel Energy Park is an exciting new development for Caerphilly and south east Wales. "Investment in renewable energy represents a huge opportunity for local business, and developers like Bute Energy have an opportunity to transform future prospects for Welsh business. 'The attendance at the event shows the opportunities available for businesses – whether that's catering, security, transport and logistics, accommodation or equipment hire, there are countless opportunities that can help grow and diversity opportunities for local businesses.'

Wrexham AFC continue partnership with Macron sportswear
supplier for the Racecourse outfit in a multi-year deal. Macron will supply the club with the official team kit, replica kit, official training and travel wear, and will have the worldwide retail rights both online and wholesale to retailers, while Wrexham will continue to supply official replica kits and teamwear products, plus all other Wrexham branded products, exclusively in the UK through its official club shops and online. This renewal reinforces a long-standing nine-year partnership that was first established in 2016. The collaboration has yielded great success on and off the pitch for both Wrexham and Macron, with the Reds achieving three consecutive promotions from National League to the Championship, while Macron has grown to become a €220 million plus company. Accompanying the announcement today was the release of a short brand video on social media that captures the spirit and synergy between the Macron Hero brand and Wrexham 's unique Welsh history and heritage, now a global brand thanks to the success of the acclaimed docu-series Welcome to Wrexham. The partnership between Macron and Wrexham is founded on a shared vision of ambition, which has enabled the club to achieve extraordinary results on the pitch, supported by a technical partner that shares the same passion, innovation and commitment to quality. Macron is consistently dedicated to supporting dynamic community-based sports organisations and has accompanied Wrexham on a journey of growth that extends far beyond technical kit supply, becoming an integral part of the club's evolving story. Over the past nine years, the partnership has introduced cutting-edge technologies into the team's kits, placing a strong emphasis on design and visual identity, and promoting key values such as teamwork, determination and respect, all fundamental pillars for both Macron and Wrexham. Every shirt produced by Macron for the Red Dragons tells a story with the DNA of the club woven into the uniqueness of each kit. This will be the same for the 2025-26 season new kits which are set to be revealed in the coming weeks and worn for the first time on the Wrexham Down Under Tour 2025-26 in Australia and New Zealand. Michael Williamson, CEO of Wrexham AFC, said: 'We are very pleased to continue with Macron as our official technical kit supplier as we enter the second tier of the English Football League for the first time in 43 years. "Macron have partnered with us over the past nine years and have shown that they understand us as a club and brand, supporting both the club and its community on this remarkable journey that we are on together with our loyal fans. "We look forward to benefiting not only from their excellent design, manufacturing quality and sportswear technology, but also from their distribution reach now that Wrexham replica kits, training wear and apparel will be globally available to fans through major retail outlets in USA, Europe and Australia/New Zealand as well as online.' Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, said: 'What Wrexham have achieved in recent years has been remarkable. "We are thrilled to have been a part of it and to continue this sporting journey together. The interest, loyalty and overall engagement has grown steadily, driving us to create collections that truly reflect the passion for this shirt of both the players and the fans. "This is our philosophy – one we bring to our work every day and are proud to share with Wrexham, in a partnership that exemplifies how sport, passion and innovation can come together to create something truly special.'
