Socio-Economic Information

There is a significant working population available within a very short drive time of Penrhyndeudraeth: the local population of 2,000 is supplemented by those from other local towns such as Porthmadog, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Maentwrog, Talsarnau and Harlech. Over 60,000 people live within 30 minutes’ drive, and nearly 115,000 within 45 minutes. Moreover there is a skilled and flexible workforce, many of whom have an engineering background.

Penrhyndeudraeth benefits from easy access to the graduate output of the University of Wales - part of the UK’s second largest university, and if yours is a sector that needs specific skills, you can take advantage of the generous training and reskilling grants available through ELWa (Education and Learning Wales).
