GTD Case Study – Control 2K
Bridgend based company, Control 2K have recently taken advantage of the GTD scheme and benefited from obtaining funding for not one, but two of its staff members. Simon Osborne and Gash Bhullar, both Directors of the well established solutions provider on Waterton Industrial Estate, were surprised that they were eligible for GO Wales funding as Directors of the Company and also that there were no restriction or time limit as to when they graduated.
“It’s unusual to find a scheme which is applicable to Company Directors as well as employees. The funding application was completed with little fuss. I would recommend eligible participants make the most of the funding when it’s still available”.
Gash Bhullar – Managing Director of Control 2K
