In South East Wales not only will you find one of the most skilled, productive workforces in Europe, but more importantly we all know how to balance our work and life. In fact many of our business operate an ‘out by 5’ rule.

Around the UK people dream of balancing their work, family and leisure time. Here it’s achievable, and affordable. We value play as much as work. That’s why we say Capital Wales is the region where you can Work|Live|Play.

In our compact, accessible region you can change your environment from mountains and coast to dynamic city all within a short drive. You can live like a fashionable urbanite or escape to the country. You have genuine lifestyle and leisure choices in Capital Wales. South East Wales has something for all lifestyles and ages.

We all know the myth that South East Wales is just coal mines, well that’s simply not true. Take an average day in South East Wales…You could spend the morning hitting the surf at Ogmore, stop off for lunch in any one of our award winning pubs & restaurants, spend the afternoon in the office and still make it into Cardiff Bay to treat that new business client to a meal and a show in the Wales Millennium Centre…and by the way if you really want to see a coal mine, we’ll show you Big Pit…its our national mining museum right in the middle of our UNESCO World heritage site at Blaenavon where you can go underground and experience the conditions that our ancestors had to work in and as with all Welsh Government operated museums entry is free.

South East Wales…

It’s where people value quality of life over work…It’s where work & life are in perfect balance…It’s where you can truly Work|Live|Play.
