Last week, Narberth Chamber of Trade and BBC Cymru Wales spent some quality time together - in a speed-dating event.

There wasn't any romance in the air, however - it was all part of a BBC staff development initiative aimed at growing their knowledge of the area and developing a fresh contact base.

The BBC group included programme-makers from a range of television and radio departments along with some independent production companies, while the Narberth businesses represented retail, tourism, food and drink, energy, IT, car sales and local newspapers.

Cathryn Allen, project executive, talent and collaboration for BBC Cymru Wales, said: "This is a fun, but very effective way of finding new contacts for our producers and journalists and Narberth is certainly a town brimming with potential programme contributors, news stories and ideas for our output in the future."

Gordon Barry from Narberth Chamber of Trade said: "We didn't know quite what to expect, but this was a valuable exercise for us in understanding more about the BBC and how to make the most of every opportunity to raise the profile of our businesses and that of Narberth as a whole."
