-Antur Waunfawr is a commercial

-enterprise established 25 years ago.

-A successful and important employer

-locally, it has three worksites.

-One site is Warws Werdd on Cibyn

-Industrial Estate, Caernarfon.

-Furniture is renovated

-and sold here.

-Today, the County Council

-has a meeting upstairs.

-Anwen and Kath

-are delivering the buffet.

-We don't go in, do we?

-We don't go in, do we?

-

-No.

-In case we get stuck.

-In case we get stuck.

-

-Yes!

-Let's go upstairs.

-Let's go upstairs.

-

-Right.

-There we are.

-Bring it here, please.

-Bring it this way.

-The first thing to do

-is to check the food temperature.

-To meet food hygiene regulations,

-the temperature of a cold buffet...

-..must remain below

-five degrees Celsius.

-If the food has warmed up...

-..the clients must be told because

-they have the right to refuse it.

-Help me with the pasta.

-All is well so far.

-But the work isn't over yet.

-Ffion has signed, I'll sign it now.

-Taking the food in

-will be more of a challenge.

-Wait a moment.

-Mel is taking a break

-from gardening, to enjoy the park.

-Wow!

-A mess.

-Those are jackdaws.

-They've got a nest.

-That one's talking to the other one.

-I thought they were going to fight.

-These are my favourites.

-Not flowers, trees.

-I'm a bird lover.

-That's why.

-Birds can't live in flowers.

-The visitors from Denmark,

-like Mel, remark on the birds.

-Crows. We have a saying in Wales,

-or my mother says anyway...

-..when you've got

-lots of crows' nests...

-..it shows there's lots of money

-in the house or organization.

-It's not happening now,

-but we used to have a big tree.

-Can you see that one there?

-There are about 5 or 6 nests there.

-We used to have a nest

-right by Antur.

-There were about 7 or 8 nests there.

-I used to measure what kind of year

-it was going to be next year...

-..on the amount of nests.

-But then the tree fell down!

-So then we had to set ourselves up

-as a social enterprise...

-..and get money from trade because

-we couldn't rely on the nests!

-LAUGHTER

-The way Antur Waunfawr

-works impresses Mogens...

-..who is principal of a school for

-people with learning disabilities.

-Here, it's so interesting.

-What is important

-in this place is the working.

-Because in our school,

-it's much more education.

-That's good, but

-working is a discipline...

-..and you do something useful...

-..which other people

-can use in their life.

-That gets people proud...

-..and really makes

-them happy, I think.

-I also think we could really

-get inspiration from here.

-In the office, Margaret types

-the minutes of the meeting...

-..and Meical Jones takes a break.

-The post is distributed, the meeting

-is over and the phones are quiet.

-But he faces a different

-task this afternoon.

-Antur has arranged for Meical to go

-on a computer course to college.

-He has no computer experience, so

-there's a lot to learn and remember.

-So you need to go into Word.

-So you need to go into Word.

-

-Word?

-Use the mouse for that one.

-Use the mouse for that one.

-

-Word.

-Can you see the W symbol?

-Click here.

-Press and hold,

-one on the arrow, or on the P.

-Arrow first, press and hold and P.

-Meical is a loyal fan

-of the soap opera Coronation Street.

-So he is happy that the first task

-is to type the storyline...

-..that will soon appear on TV.

-To get used to the words,

-first he must read the script.

-So what does he say about the fire?

-The fire is...

-Raging.

-Raging, and...

-..they are...

-..caught...

-..caught in...

-..pretty...

-..pretty lethal smoke.

-Within an hour, Meical

-has typed his first document.

-Since its foundation 25 years ago...

-..Antur Waunfawr has had

-to devise new plans and projects...

-..to expand and develop

-their successful business.

-Antur Waunfawr's third site

-is the recycling centre...

-..also on Cibyn

-Industrial Estate, Caernarfon.

-From employing only four people

-initially, the business has grown.

-Now there are 36 workers.

-The site is shared with the Council.

-Antur Waunfawr is responsible

-for paper and plastic.

-People can work

-in different sections...

-..but Dafydd Emrys works

-mainly on the plastic line.

-Here, the ability to concentrate

-is needed, to work with others...

-..and be part of a team.

-Lee Williams empties the red sacks

-of confidential papers...

-..into the shredding machine.

-Dyfed Huws sorts out the paper.

-Then they are baled and sent

-away for further recycling.

-Health and Safety regulations are

-very strict and the work is heavy.

-It can be wet and dirty at times.

-But it's a popular place

-with the Antur workers.

-In Warws Werdd,

-the meeting is in progress.

-Anwen is ready for her next task.

-The discussions are still going on.

-There's hardly any time for lunch.

-A message has been left that the

-meeting should not be interrupted.

-The work must be done in silence.

-For Anwen, this is hard -

-she is used to Kath's instructions.

-But she has to remember

-everything on her own.

-They must work quickly.

-Time is limited.

-And there's another buffet to be

-delivered the other side of town.

-Everything has gone to plan.

-Anwen played her part successfully.

-It's the end of another day

-for Antur Waunfawr's workers.

-The Recycyling Centre crew are ready

-for the lorries in the morning.

-The gardening tools and lawnmowers

-have been kept for the day...

-..and the gardeners head for home.

-Meical's home is a flat

-in Penygroes, near Caernarfon.

-After a day's work,

-his ideal relaxation...

-..is to watch

-Coronation Street on TV.

-# Grey squirrel, red squirrel,

-red squirrel, red squirrel #

-Anwen and her friends...

-..enjoy a lively evening with

-the band Gwibdaith Hen Fran.
