Director of Kartay, Westacres and Morganstone, Ian Morgan, discussed the role of the private sector in Swansea’s revitalisation, sharing updates on new residential and commercial spaces that are reshaping the cityscape.

Whilst hotel manager at Morgans Hotel, Kate Bowen, spoke on the importance of hospitality in Swansea’s revival, highlighting new initiatives to enhance visitor experiences and promote local tourism, along with upcoming projects with the Swansea.com and The Morgans Collection.

Following the presentations, attendees were invited to continue discussions at a grazing lunch buffet held at the iconic Morgans Hotel. The lunch provided a relaxed setting for networking, allowing business leaders and community members to share ideas, discuss potential partnerships, and further the momentum of Swansea's urban renewal.

The City Revival event was a powerful reminder of the strides Swansea is making towards a brighter future, strengthened by the active involvement of its local community and business leaders.
