Industry leaders meet to discuss AI in Welsh businesses
Marketing, communications and media specialists from some of Wales' most forward-thinking organisations gathered last week to share their AI strategies.
The roundtable conference, called 'Leadership in AI,' was hosted by the Four Agency Worldwide in Cardiff to address topics in artificial intelligence, ranging from the Welsh language to government regulation.
Four Agency Worldwide specialises in marketing services across the UK and Middle East North Africa (MENA). Their Cardiff and Aberystwyth offices operate under the Four Cymru division, serving the whole of Wales.
The roundtable event comprised detailed discussions on the impact of AI across different sectors.
The conversation was spearheaded by Four Agency Worldwide's chief digital and AI officer, Luke Alexander, alongside group chief executive Nan Williams, board adviser Darran Phillips, and managing director Cymru, Amelia Stevens.
The gathering included prominent industry leaders from Welsh businesses, such as Admiral, Airbus, and Wales & West Utilities.
Participants exchanged insights on the effective use of AI to assist, automate, and transform their organisations.
The debate also emphasised the unique role that AI can play within Welsh businesses, spotlighting the Welsh language and the growing need for government investment and regulation.
Lianne Moulder, from Admiral Group, said: "This was an incredibly valuable discussion, and it was great to be able to take part and share my insights and hear how other Welsh organisations are using AI."
Speaking about the event's success, Nan Williams, group chief executive of Four Worldwide Agency, said: "The AI roundtable in Cardiff was a significant opportunity for us to bring together a number of clients and friends of Four to have an open and honest discussion about the ways in which AI will change the face of marketing and communications.
"We wanted to have meaningful conversations on how to help shape the future of AI and its usage, particularly in enhancing the use of the Welsh language and how best to use AI in a bilingual world."

Surge in Welsh house names in Abersoch and Llanberis and what's driving it
Tourism is helping to drive a 'Cymrufication' of place names, a major study has found. The trend was observed in two holiday hotspots in Gwynedd and it appears to be accelerating. In the two villages, Abersoch and Llanberis, higher-the-average numbers of holiday homes have Welsh names on platforms like Not only are Welsh place names considered increasingly 'fashionable', they are seen as helping to promote the area to tourists. One person in Abersoch told the study that the area's 'Welshness' was an 'added bonus' for attracting tourists or in appealing to those with second homes in the area. A similar but less acute trend was seen in Llanberis but the outcomes sometimes differed, with a higher number of mixed Welsh-English names. The findings were reported in a study commissioned by the Welsh Government into how property, street, and business names are changing across Wales. Despite high-profile switches of traditional Welsh properties to English names, the research found a clear shift towards using Welsh language place names over the past decade. Local authorities received three times more applications for Welsh language street names than English language names between 2018-2023. Most changes to property names are in the same language. However, when the language does change, properies are at least three more likely to be renamed from English to Welsh than the other way round. People report that Welsh house names give them 'a sense of pride, place or nostalgia'. For the study, seven locations were selected for in-depth scrutiny, including Abersoch and Llanberis. Others included Connah's Quay in Flintshire, Llanidloes in Powys and Narberth in Pembrokeshire. These were compared against data from other places in Wales, including Wrexham, Llangollen, Llandegla and Denbigh. In Connah's Quary, most properties are numbered rather than named, though some do have 'alias names' - names given to homes in addition to house numbers. Often these alias names reflected rural areas outside the post-industrial town. In contrast Abersoch has very few numbered-only properties (7.8%) with a higher prevalence of named properties (71.1% of the 332 surveyed properties) compared to other localities. Where residents in Abersoch do have numbered properties, they like to give it a name – there's a higher prevalence of alias naming here compared to other places. Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now The overall preference of named properties could reflect the village's settlement pattern, it being a smaller coastal community with a mix of older housing stock and houses built in small batches. In contrast, Llanberis has a large number of numbered properties and most its Welsh language names were alias names. Here, Airbnbs have expanded rapidly in recent years and the resulting friction has led to the village being dubbed the "next Abersoch". In Llanberis, the study detected particular concerns over the impacts of tourism amid a perception than more properties were being given English names. This perception is based on the historic threat to local topographic names, especially online, said the study. Examples cited included the 'Steps of Cirith Ungol' in place of Llwybr Llwynog, and 'Looning the Tube Level' for Ponc Penrhydd, used by climbers at Dinorwig Quarry. In both Abersoch and Llanberis, businesses and holiday lets were seen to be driving the adoption of Welsh names, often by switching from English. It's thought their names were often chosen to appeal to tourists. In Llanberis, one business owner said a Welsh language name was an important part of their distinctive tourism 'brand'. The study noted: 'Other non-Welsh-speaking business owners (in Llanberis) had adopted Welsh language business names to 'belong' and to create a distinctive Welsh language sense of place for the community and for tourists.' This trend was supported by data from where the majority (63.2%) of named properties listed in Wales have an English language name – much higher than the all-Wales average (50.4%). It's believed that accommodation providers appeal to tourists by offering properties with words like 'View', 'Cottage' and 'Sea'. In Abersoch, however, the opposite was true, with 72.4 % of its holiday properties listed having Welsh language names on This is in a village where 57% of residents are Welsh speakers. Overall, holiday accommodation in Abersoch was found to almost four times more Welsh names (42 properties) than English names (11 properties). Welsh Language Secretary Mark Drakeford said: 'Place names help tell the story of who we are as a nation, and this new research helps us understand our linguistic landscape. "I'm encouraged to see more people embracing Welsh property names, regardless of their background.' Gwynedd reclaiming Welsh language names To further delve into property name trends in Gwynedd, 10 other localities were assessed. These were: Aberdyfi Blaenau Ffestiniog Dolgellau Morfa Bychan Morfa Nefyn Nefyn Porthmadog Trawsfynydd Tywyn Y Felinheli Between 2009-2024, Dolgellau was found to have had the highest number (23) of property name changes, while Trawsfynydd had the fewest number (four). Across the county, changes from an English to a Welsh name were around 10 times greater than the other way round. This was much higher than anywhere else in Wales and was particulaly noticeable with business names.

Although no explanation was give, this activity is thought to be linked to the staycation boom that occurred during the Covid pandemic. One council's Street Naming and Numbering officer told the study: 'In recent times, with Covid, we've seen an increase in staycations and being a tourist area, we had a lot of changes of use into B&Bs or Airbnbs and conversion of outbuildings to holiday lets and that kind of thing.' The visitor economy has long dictated place naming in Wales and the legacy of Victorian tourism can still be felt: the study cited Happy Valley in Meirionnydd and Grey Mare's Tail waterfall in Conwy county – there's also a Happy Valley in Llandudno. The Welsh Place-Name Society told the study that these names are 'not without interest, nor are they invalid, but are they names that we would wish to promote in today's world?'

Plans for more rail services between Wrexham and Liverpool
It will allow the Welsh Labour Government to put forward detailed plans for improvements to the Wrexham-Liverpool line and upgrades to the North Wales mainline. The announcement provides the funding for the first major component of Network North Wales to be delivered, and for development work to relieve capacity constraints at Chester station. Last month, Welsh Government Transport Secretary Ken Skates put forward plans for increased train services between Wrexham and Bidston to two trains per hour within the next three years, ahead of the introduction of four trains per hour that will run direct between Wrexham and Liverpool by 2035, after rail line works at Padeswood are completed. This funding will advance these plans. In addition to numerous improvements in North Wales, the funding will propel forward plans for five new stations in South East Wales. The infrastructure funding will be released over the next ten years. MOST READ Wrexham MP Andrew Ranger and MS Lesley Griffiths said: 'Today's news is a win for Wales and a win for Wrexham. Improvements on the line between Wrexham and Liverpool will benefit the local economy and connect communities across both sides of the border. 'Wales was starved of rail funding under the previous Conservative governments and we welcome this long-overdue investment. This is a clear example of two Labour Governments working together for the benefit of the people of Wales.'
