Anchor companies

Our commitment in Economic Renewal: a new direction is to form and build strategic relationships with anchor companies.

What is an anchor company?

An anchor company is considered as:

• A company which is a global or international organisation and or,
• Have Welsh head quarters or significant corporate presence in Wales.

We are also committed to building strategic relationships with key companies outside of the key sectors.  These companies are of similar status to anchor companies in terms of employment, or national or regional importance.
