Every summer, Concrete Canvas takes on a number of undergraduate interns from the University of Cambridge.
Last year, CC gave the exciting opportunity to five students, who took on a variety of projects, and influenced a variety of the company’s processes.
Two of last year’s interns, Tom and Stewart have been featured in a Q&A article in the University’s latest online newsletter. Take a look here.
Wales’ First Minister visited Concrete Canvas Ltd at their Pontypridd site last week, speaking to co-Directors Will Crawford and Peter Brewin about Welsh export statistics.
The First Minister also spoke to the Directors to get their take on how a ‘hard Brexit’ could effect company’s like CC, which rely heavily on exports.
Take a look at the short video shared on the First Minister’s Twitter page following his visit:
Really interesting visit to @_ConcreteCanvas – a successful Welsh company that exports 85% of its goods. pic.twitter.com/KYqZiecO9m

Welsh Secretary of State, Alun Cairns, this week discussed the importance of Welsh manufacturing for the British economy.
The MP addressed an audience at the annual Barclays and SPTS Technologies Ltd ‘Voice of Welsh Manufacturing’ event on Monday, outlining the Welsh Manufacturing sector’s strengths.
In his speech he singled out the success of Concrete Canvas Ltd, alongside the likes of Aston Martin and Toyota, and how the company is “revolutionising construction processes by manufacturing concrete on a roll”.
This comes ahead of a visit from Wales’ First Minister, Carwyn Jones, at Concrete Canvas’ Pontypridd site on Thursday.
CC has recently expanded, purchasing a new site in Pontyclun, which the company hopes to move to in early 2019.
