Two Gwent firms are among contractors which have started work on a range of projects to improve the customer experience at Cardiff Airport.

Abergavenny based Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd and Tredegar’s M&J EuropeContractors are now on site, working to ensure the projects are completed by the summer, along with Brecon-based Beacons Business Interiors (BBI), St Mellons-based Paramount Interiors and Cardiff engineering firm Burroughs.

Jason Thomas, director of Projects and Delivery at Cardiff Airport, said: “Welsh businesses have won a number of the contracts for this work. We are particularly pleased to be working with local companies to make these improvements and creating the changes people want to see in their national airport.

“The improvements have been designed around the customer, incorporating passenger feedback to improve the customer journey, make it easier, more convenient and raise standards.”

Carl Williams, from BBI, said: "We are excited to be working with Cardiff Airport to deliver an improved experience for passengers. The new security area will be more customer-friendly and will cut down the time required to complete the screening process."
