Serco CEO visit's Rhyl


Tom Riall, Chief Executive of Serco Civil Government visited Rhyl this week and meet with Ann Jones AM, Iwan Prys Jones DCC, Clive Wolfendale CIAS, and RYAG. As part of the visit, Tom also stopped off to meet the team at Serco’s Business Processing Centre which the company have recently located in Rhyl. This has created 16 much needed new jobs for our area.


We are sure many others from the statutory and voluntary sector will send out our thanks to Serco for choosing Rhyl, Wales and the UK as a whole as the location for their centre.


Private, Voluntary and Statutory joint working will be key to the redevelopment of Rhyl and Denbighshire as a whole and we hope Serco and other large companies will look at Rhyl as a potential venue to place their future activities and create employment opportunities for local people.


With Rhyl being a Strategic Regeneration Area, having a first class College, the Rhyl City Strategy, ILM's and a mass of voluntary and statutory resources at hand then a strong local workforce can be ready to meet the needs of business looking to invest in our community which will also benefit from a rebranding project being led by DCC.


Thanks again to Gareth Matthews for his continued commitment to the regeneration of Rhyl!
