Dumbarton boss enthused with new owner - but budget pressures remain for L2 bid
The Sons boss admits his side will face a tough fight in terms of finances - but believe his side can still compete well in League Two. Dumbarton boss Stevie Farrell has been left full of praise for the club's new preferred bidder - and said clarity over the club's future will help as they plot to climb out of their admin-enforced League Two deficit. The Sons boss has been locked in intensive discussions with Canadian Mario Lapointe after the businessman was named by the club's administrators as the prospective new man at the helm last month. The club's prospects off the pitch now look much brighter as an escape from administration is planned in the coming weeks - but Farrell warned a tighter playing budget next term means a high turnover of the squad at the Rock is likely ahead of the fourth-tier return. He told the Lennox: 'The relationship has started very positively and we speak most days. 'He is very enthusiastic and has put his money where his mouth is, so it's an exciting time for the club because he is very invested in the club and making it a success. 'The discussions we have had have also been very transparent and truthful; the budget this year will be reduced quite considerably and he has told me the reasons for that but I like the fact that I know where I stand and I'm going about my business accordingly. 'We are likely to lose the majority of our squad from last year and the process of building for the next campaign is well underway.' The fate of many members of last season's Dumbarton squad has been up in the air, with winger Craig McGuffie announced as leaving the club, following on from Jinky Hilton's move to Clyde. Talented Rangers youngster Kristian Webster - who impressed after moving into a full-back role at the tail end of the last campaign - could possibly be a target for a return to the Rock after his release from the Ibrox club was confirmed last week. But despite the monetary constraints - and a minus-five points deduction to start the season due to entering administration - Farrell is bullish about his record in the division and in the squad he will be able to build. 'Speaking with Mario has allowed us to have complete clarity in where we are and the market for players, so we're way down the line with that while keeping the restrictions in place we have until the middle of June due to administration', he added. 'We will have one of the lowest budgets in the league but I believe we can compete in the division and myself and my coaching staff have a history in League Two and how football is a changeable thing. 'There is a real positive vibe at the club now and the new owner has really lifted the spirits and much of the doom and gloom that had been about over the ownership at the club for a long time. 'The calmness is clear and there is no longer a sense of looking around the corner for the next problem from the ownership side; that brings stability to the club and that is so important.'

Expert Support sees Cardiff Infrastructure Consultancy Reach £1m Milestone
Volos are experts in highway infrastructure design, project management, and quantity surveying Cardiff-based infrastructure consultancy, Volos is set to hit £1 million in turnover, powered by strategic guidance from Business Wales fuelling its rapid growth. Experts in highway infrastructure design, project management, and quantity surveying, Volos has quickly built a strong track record, delivering major local authority projects across South Wales and England, with key support from Business Wales. Established in 2021 by Liam Shields and Ollie Marsh, Volos is now poised to surpass £1 million in turnover for its financial year ending 2025, as it secures places on tendering frameworks that offer the potential to unlock new revenue from large-scale civil engineering and highways works. With 95% of its operations focused on the public sector, Volos' growing team of 10 professionals has significantly benefited from Business Wales' tailored support in tendering, HR, and business management. This guidance has enabled the company to secure key funding, refine its operations, expand its workforce, and win major contracts and frameworks. Business Wales has also helped Volos navigate complex procurement frameworks, allowing the company to successfully bid for and secure high-value local authority contracts. Most recently, the company has secured a place on the Specialist Consultancy Services South West Wales Regional Contractors Framework, which opens the door to major projects with Carmarthenshire County Council, Ceredigion County Council, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, Powys County Council and Swansea Council. Outside of Wales, Volos has also secured a place on the Provision of Specialist Consultancy Services Framework, which allows the company to bid for projects with Surrey County Council. Commenting on the growth of Volos and the Business Wales guidance that supported it, Volos Director, Liam Shields, said: 'We're extremely proud to see the hard work of our professionals and the partnerships we've created with our clients across the public sector deliver these exceptional results. No matter the scale or complexity of our clients' goals, we've created a team with the knowledge and expertise to deliver on any project. 'However, it's important to recognise how crucial the external support we have received from Robert Davies and his colleagues at Business Wales continues to contribute towards our success and growth. The intricacies of founding and structuring a business are immense, so having their wide range of expertise available to us is truly invaluable. If you're an expert in what you do, but feel you need assistance to make your company a reality, I'd urge you to explore how Business Wales can help.' Volos first turned to Business Wales in 2024 to explore funding opportunities. Their Business Adviser, Robert Davies, identified the Cardiff Growth Fund as a potential source of financial support. With Robert's guidance to prepare a successful application, Volos secured over £10,000 in match funding to invest in a customised project management system, which now serves as the backbone of Volos' operations, streamlining client projects, HR, and billing. Business Wales' HR experts were instrumental to Volos achieving certification as a Living Wage Employer and formalising employment contracts that supported the firm's rapid expansion to a team of over 10 highly qualified specialists. The consultancy is also investing in the future, with its first graduate apprentice and several employees receiving company backing to pursue university qualifications. Recognising the significance of language and culture, Volos additionally sought assistance to develop a Welsh language policy to reinforce the company's commitment to bilingualism in its operations. The ability of Volos' growing team to compete for major contracts is further strengthened by becoming a signatory to Business Wales' Green Growth Pledge and expert guidance to develop carbon reduction plans and environmental credentials, which are key to securing places on valuable public frameworks. According to Business Wales, Volos' trajectory to sustained success demonstrates how strategic guidance can turn ambition into achievement. Business Adviser, Robert Davies, explains: 'Across Wales there are hundreds of experts who are passionate about what they do and the results they could achieve as entrepreneurs and leaders growing companies. 'Often, overcoming the hurdles holding back those ambitions simply takes external support to help access expert resources and guidance needed, and these are readily available to Welsh businesses. Volos is a perfect example of how a driven team of experts can realise that potential and unlock growth with the right assistance in place. I hope the success of Liam, Ollie and their team will inspire others to contact Business Wales to access the support that is freely at their disposal.' Business Wales is funded by Welsh Government.
