Sam Rowlands, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, has praised Bangor University’s Business School for its success.
Mr Rowlands, Shadow Minister for Local Government and a keen supporter of any measures to help businesses in North Wales thrive said:
I was delighted to have the opportunity to visit the school and see the excellent facilities they have on offer, and congratulate staff in person for the success of the North Wales Means Business Conference which was held earlier this year.
The event, which was held at Venue Cymru, Llandudno, was organised by Bangor Business School and was highly successful, attracting leading voices from education, finance and industry.
During my visit I also met some students and saw their Trading Room, which has Bloomberg terminals to allow them to practice trading based on real stock markets. Students can also participate in a Global Challenge run by Bloomberg, and two of the top three teams are from Bangor University.
The business school is a jewel in the crown of Bangor University and over the last few years has delivered training to thousands of businesses all over North Wales. Well done to everyone involved.
At the time of the conference Lorraine Hopkins, Head of the Leading Business Growth Programmes, said the 2023 conference marked a very special occasion for North Wales businesses and her team at Bangor Business School.
She said: “I for one feel very privileged to be part of it as it is a celebration of 13 years of delivering training to over a thousand business owners, leaders, and managers. It is also recognition of the impact this training has had on our business economy.”
Ms Hopkins said she was pleased to welcome Sam Rowlands to the school and thanked him for his support.
Sam Rowlands AS yn tynnu sylw at lwyddiant prifysgol yn y gogledd
Mae Sam Rowlands, yr Aelod o’r Senedd dros Ogledd Cymru, wedi canmol Ysgol Fusnes Prifysgol Bangor am ei llwyddiant.
Dywedodd Mr Rowlands, Gweinidog yr Wrthblaid dros Lywodraeth Leol a chefnogwr brwd i unrhyw fesur sy’n helpu busnesau yn y gogledd i ffynnu:
Roeddwn yn falch iawn o gael y cyfle i ymweld â’r ysgol a gweld y cyfleusterau rhagorol mae’n eu cynnig, a llongyfarch staff yn bersonol am lwyddiant cynhadledd North Wales Means Business a gynhaliwyd yn gynharach eleni.
Trefnwyd y digwyddiad yn Venue Cymru, Llandudno gan Ysgol Fusnes Bangor, ac roedd yn llwyddiant ysgubol, gan ddenu eiriolwyr blaenllaw o fyd addysg, cyllid a diwydiant.
Yn ystod fy ymweliad hefyd, fe wnes i gwrdd â rhai o’r myfyrwyr a gweld yr ystafell fasnachu, sydd â therfynellau Bloomberg i hwyluso ymarfer masnachu yn seiliedig ar farchnadoedd stoc go iawn. Mae myfyrwyr hefyd yn gallu cymryd rhan mewn Her Fyd-eang sy’n cael ei rhedeg gan Bloomberg, ac mae dau o’r tri thîm gorau yn dod o Brifysgol Bangor.
Mae’r ysgol fusnes yn un o drysorau Prifysgol Bangor a dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf mae wedi darparu hyfforddiant i filoedd o fusnesau ledled y gogledd. Llongyfarchiadau i bawb sydd ynghlwm wrth y prosiect.
Yn ystod y gynhadledd, dywedodd Lorraine Hopkins, Pennaeth Rhaglenni Arwain Twf Busnes, fod cynhadledd 2023 yn achlysur arbennig iawn i fusnesau’r gogledd a’i thîm yn Ysgol Fusnes Bangor.
Dywedodd: “Rwy’n teimlo’n freintiedig iawn i fod yn rhan o’r gynhadledd hon, gan ei bod yn ddathliad o 13 mlynedd o ddarparu hyfforddiant i dros fil o berchnogion, arweinwyr a rheolwyr busnes. Mae hefyd yn gydnabyddiaeth o’r effaith mae’r hyfforddiant hwn wedi’i gael ar ein heconomi fusnes.”
Dywedodd Ms Hopkins ei bod yn falch o groesawu Sam Rowlands i’r Ysgol Fusnes a diolchodd iddo am ei gefnogaeth.
