Rheolwr Clwstwr

Mike Rundle , Kinetic Cubed

Pa Glwstwr Allforio rydych chi'n ei reoli a pha fath o gymorth rydych chi'n ei roi i aelodau'ch Clwstwr?

Fel Rheolwr Clwstwr ar gyfer y Clwstwr Cynhyrchion Defnyddwyr, fy r?l i yw cefnogi gwaith y Cynghorwyr Masnach Ryngwladol rhanbarthol (ITAs) sydd ynghlwm wrth bob cwmni a chynnig cefnogaeth ar y cyd ac unigol i aelodau'r Clwstwr ar bob agwedd ar allforio.

Ar ?l sefydlu a rhedeg fy musnes gweithgynhyrchu dillad chwaraeon fy hun o'r blaen, mae gen i werthfawrogiad uniongyrchol o'r cymhlethdodau y mae perchnogion busnesau bach yn eu hwynebu, gan gynnwys o ran allforio. Nod allweddol i mi yn y r?l hon yw bod yn adnodd sydd ar gael i aelodau'r Clwstwr wrth ddarparu cyngor a chymorth amserol i helpu i gadw'r busnes i redeg yn esmwyth yn ogystal a datrys problemau allforio a nodi cyfleoedd.

Mae cynhyrchion defnyddwyr yn destun gofynion rheoleiddiol trylwyr i sicrhau diogelwch i'r defnyddiwr terfynol. Gall cadw i fyny a newidiadau i'r rheoliadau hyn wrth iddynt gael eu gweithredu yn y DU a thramor fod yn heriol felly rhan o'm r?l yw edrych ar sut y gallwn ddarparu trosolwg o bynciau cymhleth a rhoi gwell dealltwriaeth i aelodau'r clwstwr o'r farchnad fel eu bod yn parhau i gydymffurfio a diogelu eu brandiau.

Ar ?l bod yn Gynghorydd Masnach Ryngwladol mewn r?l flaenorol, mae gen i werthfawrogiad a dealltwriaeth glir o sut mae fy ngwaith fel Rheolwr Clwstwr yn ategu gwaith yr ecosystem cymorth allforio ehangach yng Nghymru ac rwy'n dwyn hyn i gof er budd aelodau fy Nghlwstwr.

The following series of articles will provide you with information about the purpose and work of the Welsh Government’s Export Cluster Programme and how it supports Wales based businesses on their export journeys. We’re also going to be introducing our Export Cluster Managers, as they play a pivotal role in the delivery of this programme.

About the Welsh Government’s Export Cluster Programme.

The Programme is squarely focussed on supporting and enhancing the export performance of companies based within the five priority export sectors as outlined in the Export Action Plan for Wales, these being:

·???????? Consumer Products

·???????? MedTech & Diagnostics

·???????? Technology

·???????? Renewables & Clean Energy

·???????? High-value Manufacturing

Each cluster will bring like-minded businesses together in order to provide a supportive ecosystem that encourages export growth, peer to peer interaction, the support of a dedicated Cluster Manager who will work with cluster members on both a one-to-one and group basis, and opportunities to build export skills, capacity and capabilities.?

·???????? One-to-many and one-to-one support focussed on developing and enhancing export performance.

·???????? Support from a dedicated Cluster Manager.

·???????? Opportunities to collaborate with other cluster members.

·???????? The opportunity to learn from peers and like-minded businesses.

·???????? Attending events and activities designed to support your export journey.?

Cluster Manager

Mike Rundle, Kinetic Cubed

Which Export Cluster do you manage and what type of support do you provide to your Cluster members?

As Cluster Manager for the Consumer Products Cluster, my role is to support the work of the regional International Trade Advisers (ITAs) attached to each company and offer collective and individual support to members of the Cluster on all aspects of exporting.

Having previously established and run my own sportswear manufacturing business, I have a first-hand appreciation of the complexities that small business owners face including when it comes to exporting. A key aim for me in this role is to be an available resource to Cluster members in providing timely advice and assistance to help keep the business running smoothly as well as export issues resolved and opportunities identified.

Consumer products are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements to ensure safety for the end user. Keeping up with changes to these regulations as they are implemented both in the UK and overseas can be challenging so part of my role is to look at how we can provide overviews of complex topics and give Cluster members a better understanding of the market so they remain compliant and protect their brands.

Having been an ITA in a previous role, I have a clear appreciation and understanding of how my work as a Cluster Manager compliments the work of the wider export support ecosystem in Wales and I bring this to bear for the benefit of my Cluster members.
