WELCOME SIMON J’S PIZZERIA

We are pleased to Welcome Simon J’s Pizzaria To The Introbiz Family here at Introbiz Swansea and West Wales

Freshly made, authentic, Italian style pizza made just for you with only the best ingredients

Simon J’s Pizzeria was established in August 2017 with a gazebo and a table top oven in Llanelli Outdoor Market. Since then it has evolved in to a busy, in demand Pizza Van called “Ferdie the lean mean pizza machine” who travels arounds the countryside cooking wood fired pizza at a variety of venues.  We are based in Llanelli but are completely mobile giving us the opportunity to come to where the hungry pizza lovers are.

We are all about hand crafted pizzas. Every pizza is hand stretched for a light and fluffy dough. We make our own dough as well as our own “secret sauce” with meat from our local butcher or authentic Italian style hams and pepperoni. We use 100% mozzarella so it has not got the same fat content as cheddar. We also offer a vegan menu and can offer gluten free as long as it is not an allergy. We do specific Gluten Free Pizza nights that are designated to providing gluten free pizzas that are safer from any cross contamination.

We do weddings and offer a free taster session for the happy couple contemplating having us along on their special day. It is an ideal way to feed your guests as everything is cooked fresh throughout the evening. We cater for parties and offer several different packages for different budgets. We also offer a buffet service with a selection of home made treats such as potato salad, coleslaw, salads and fruit platters as well as hot, freshly made pizzas throughout the event.

We also do pizza workshops where we teach participants how to create their own hand-crafted pizza. We work with schools, family centres, children’s nurseries and youth clubs to teach life skills and increase confidence in cooking.

At the end of the last season we started doing pizzas for the Scarlets Stadium which is within earshot of our house. We thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to continue to work with them at their upcoming home games.

We are in the process of developing our website. In the meantime, please check out our facebook page on www.facebook.com/simonjspizzeria to find out where we are today.

Our favourite review in the last 6 years remains one we received off an Italian couple visiting Kidwelly on holidays. They said it was “the best pizza we have had outside of Italy”.

How it all began ………………………………………

 

The Directors of Tuk Tuk Time Limited were persuaded to enjoy a tuk tuk tour in Lisbon many moons ago. The experience left such a lasting impression that they decided it was time to bring tuk tuks to Wales – for everyone to enjoy.

In late 2019, the family business of Tuk Tuk Time commenced trading providing tours along the South Coast of Pembrokeshire with weddings, events & occasions across Wales, using their imported, authentic, Asian tuk tuks. The family have many years’ experience of customer service and are well known for providing high standards with a friendly service.

Tuk Tuk Time has built a solid reputation for delivering an outstanding, different, fun experience and so very proud of their very professional team. Yes, clients love their unique tuk tuks but they equally love the chauffeurs too – it’s a tailored, personal service, so rare to find these days with the advent of automation.

Testimonials:

“Thank you for a truly unique experience!” Gill Cooper

Thank you xxx” Hannah Lewis

Mickey Cagehin

 

“Oh what a lovely team you have. Everything was explained really clearly and my questions were answered. I spoke to Rob and Sarah and they were very patient with me as I am hard of hearing. They spoke slower and clearer so I could hear and understand everything. They didn’t mind how much time it took and I didn’t feel rushed. Brilliant!!”
Mrs Hall

 

“I was so happy with the service, that I have already recommended them to my friends. They are more than helpful and as a result of their advice I have realised that I needed a POA for my business as well as for myself.”
Christine Kershaw

 

“What a great team of people to deal with.Chris and Sarah White made completing the questionnaire for our LPA documents very simple for us. They both offered great advice and were able to answer the questions we put to them in easy to understand replies, all within the comfort of our own home. We definitely recommend them to all those people who wish to set up LPA, as they are a very professional company and extremely competitive pricewise.”

Roger Greenwood

 

“Every member of staff we have dealt with at Trinity Life have been delightful. They are all very professional well versed in providing guidance for Lasting Power of Attorney. After dealing with the member of staff today organising our LPOA I wish I can contacted them to make our Will but alas we already had our Will in place. I can’t praise Trinity Life more highly the staff are so helpful and informative and don’t use jargon you’re not familiar with unlike solicitors! And they don’t charge inflated prices we hope this company goes from strength to strength it must be a very pleasant place to work.”
Claudette and Norman

 

“What a good company to put your trust in. From the first connection with them, nothing but kindness, empathy,patience ,understanding. I felt as though I was conversing with them in my living room.i was really scared of dealing with the legal profession having never done it before. Special Thanks to Chris and Sarah who are truly professional but never forget to be in tune with what you want and need.They got me through everything, explaining it all so clearly as we progressed Nothing too much trouble.Trinity Life limited was certainly the correct company for me and with Christian values which they hold had my complete trust.Thank you for being there Trinity Life and I do believe I was God led to you.”
Noreen Ellis

 

“I have been most impressed with Trinity Life in dealing with my enquiry for LPA. Right from the start I was made to feel at ease.Everything was clearly and concisely explained, they went out of their way to make sure all my needs were met. Everything was conducted in a kind and friendly manner in fact I felt I was given VIP treatment. I am so pleased I chose Trinity Life and will certainly recommend them to friends and family.”
Janet Butcher

 

“I cannot believe how easy and simple it was to sort out my will and funeral plan. I had been thinking about doing it for about 4 years but kept putting it off as I thought it was too complicated for me to understand but Chris and Sarah made it so easy and explained everything in simple terms that I could understand. I cannot thank them enough and would definitely highly recommend Trinity to anyone thinking about getting a will or funeral plan. They also saved me a fortune too, their fees are very reasonable.

This investment is the largest single investment into the business and will transform the business along with recycled aggregates market within South and West Wales.

After teaming up with Italian Company Matec, the Group can now offer the cleanest possible recycled sand and aggregate products. The new plant is one of the biggest full wash plants in the UK and now the biggest recycling wash plant in Wales.

“I am extremely proud of our new wash plant, this will be a game changer for us as a business, it will see us provide our customers with top quality products at competitive rates. This state-of-the-art wash plant ticks all the boxes in line with the Welsh Governments aspirations, carbon reduction, circular economy, closed loop recycling, and almost 100% landfill diversion”.

The new plant will create new jobs and support the circular economy within the region. The recycled aggregates we can now offer are fantastic for the environment as they offer lower carbon footprints, reduce waste going to landfill and support companies who are aiming to be more environmentally friendly”.

“We are proud and excited about this important collaboration with Gavin Griffiths Group, which has allowed us to install a “One Solution” plant within their production site.

Congratulations InSynch on being recognised as a Business Hero by the South Wales Chamber of Commerce as part
of the British Chambers of Commerce UK Business Heroes Campaign
 – 24th October 2020

InSynch has been recognised as a Business Hero by the South Wales Chamber of Commerce as part of the British Chambers of Commerce UK Business Heroes Campaign. The British Chambers of Commerce campaign recognises the incredible work that UK businesses are doing, in the most challenging of years. 

Commenting on InSynch’s Business Hero status, the South Wales Chamber of Commerce stated: “InSynch are experts in digital marketing, websites, business consultancy, training and graphic design. Despite a third of their digital marketing retainers being wiped out within two weeks due to Covid-19, they did not furlough any staff and instead pivoted what they could offer to support other businesses in the shift to digital working. Over 900 remote meetings were held from April to September, over 200 one to one sessions delivered to businesses, 62 online training courses delivered from April to September and over 1100 businesses supported through April to September.”

This prestigious award was only given to 8 businesses by the South Wales Chamber and the company’s CEO, Eddy Webb, is thrilled with the recognition. “I am so pleased that the hard work of the team at InSynch has been recognised in this way. They should feel proud of the role that they played. These are challenging times and I like to think we have played a small part in helping many businesses battle through” he said. The initiative is also supported by HRH The Countess of Wessex who, in a letter to the recognised Business Heroes wrote “It has been a particular pleasure to hear stories of how you have supported your local communities throughout the outbreak and to see you nominated as UK Business Heroes by your local Chamber of Commerce.”
