About the project
In May 2016, TestTown Bridgend winners, Geraint and Caitlyn signed the lease with Bridgend College which would see their vision of opening Ddraig Valley Farm Park on the college’s land turn into a reality, Ddraig Valley Farm Park is being set up as a visitor attraction on South Wales where families can come and learn about animals of all sorts, from farm animals to exotic species. Alongside this, Geraint and Caitlyn also want to provide a place for work experience for college leavers. Their vision was three years in the making and throughout supported and nurtured by the Enterprise Team at Bridgend College.
“We have been working non-stop with Bridgend College’s Entrepreneurship Officer Ruth Rowe, she has been a valuable asset and has been able to help us mould and focus our minds to become a much more productive team.”
From being awarded Bridgend College Business Student of the Year, Bridgend Business Forum Student of the Year, talking part in 2015 Big Ideas Wales, to winning TestTown Bridgend and participating in TestTown Glasgow Saltmarket, both Caitlyn and Geraint acknowledge and appreciate the support they have been given.
