The Minister marked the day by visiting Tregroes Waffles in Llandysul, which is part\-owned by the locally\-based staff who work for the bakery. An employee ownership trust has benefitted both the owner and the employees, who now have more of a say in the thriving business.


On average, two to three employee buy\-out deals take place in Wales each year but the scale of the employee\-owned sector has grown in the past few years, and there is potential for many more employee\-owned businesses. There are currently 38 in Wales, with 8 created in the last six months.


Employee ownership delivers numerous benefits for employees and for businesses, with evidence showing employee\-owned businesses are more productive and more resilient. They are also rooted in their local areas and regions, securing good quality jobs for the longer term within communities across Wales.


Working with Cwmpas, the Welsh Government has recently approved £70,000 of additional support for promoting the benefits and development of employee ownership in Wales to ensure business based in Wales are aware of the opportunities and benefits it offers.


Business Wales and Social Business Wales also offer specialist advice to support employee buy outs, with fully funded and bespoke help available to help business owners decide if employee ownership and share schemes are the right solution for their business.


Further, the Wales Flexible Investment Fund, which is operated by the Development Bank of Wales, offers a potential debt\-based funding route for employee buyouts, with support for management buyouts available through the Wales Management Succession Fund.


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething said:



> “Employee ownership gives employees the opportunity to have a significant and meaningful stake in the business they work for. It gives them more control over their own destiny. It also provides business owners with the peace of mind that that the future of their business is in safe hands, and that the future of their highly valued employees has been safeguarded in the community the business was fostered in.
> 
> 
> “It was inspiring to visit Tregroes Waffles in Llandysul to see for myself how employee\-ownership has benefited the business, the staff who work there and the wider local community.
> 
> 
> “The Welsh Government is committed to doubling the number of employee\-owned businesses by 2026\. To achieve that, we want to provide greater support for worker buyouts. I urge more businesses to explore the benefits on offer via Business Wales and Social Business Wales, to ensure Wales\-based companies remain in Welsh hands.


Kees Huysmans, Founder of Tregroes Waffles, said:



> “My hope is that employee ownership gives Tregroes Waffles the best chance to thrive in this unpredictable world of today.”

Nododd y Gweinidog y diwrnod drwy ymweld â Tregroes Waffles yn Llandysul, sy'n eiddo'n rhannol i'r staff lleol sy'n gweithio i'r becws. Mae Ymddiriedolaeth Perchnogaeth gan Weithwyr wedi bod o fudd i'r perchennog a'r gweithwyr, sydd bellach â mwy o lais yn y busnes ffyniannus. 


Ar gyfartaledd, ceir cytundebau prynu allan gan weithwyr ddwywaith neu deirgwaith  yng Nghymru bob blwyddyn, ond mae maint y sector sy'n eiddo i weithwyr wedi tyfu yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, ac mae potensial gweld llawer mwy o fusnesau sy'n eiddo i weithwyr. Ar hyn o bryd mae 38 yng Nghymru, gydag 8 wedi'u creu yn y chwe mis diwethaf. 


Mae perchnogaeth gan weithwyr yn dod â nifer o fanteision i weithwyr ac i fusnesau, gyda tystiolaeth yn dangos bod busnesau sy'n eiddo i weithwyr yn fwy cynhyrchiol ac yn fwy gwydn. Maent hefyd wedi'u gwreiddio yn eu hardaloedd a'u rhanbarthau lleol, gan sicrhau swyddi o ansawdd da ar gyfer y tymor hwy mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru. 


Gan weithio gyda Cwmpas, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymeradwyo £70,000 o gymorth ychwanegol yn ddiweddar i hyrwyddo manteision a datblygiad perchnogaeth gan weithwyr yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod busnesau yng Nghymru yn ymwybodol o'r cyfleoedd a'r manteision y mae'n eu cynnig.  


Mae Busnes Cymru a Busnes Cymdeithasol Cymru hefyd yn cynnig cyngor arbenigol i gefnogi gweithwyr sy'n prynu busnesau, gyda chymorth pwrpasol wedi'i ariannu'n llawn ar gael i helpu perchnogion busnes i benderfynu ai cynlluniau perchnogaeth gan weithwyr a chyfranddaliadau yw'r ateb cywir i'w busnes. 


At hynny, mae Cronfa Buddsoddi Hyblyg Cymru, sy'n cael ei gweithredu gan Fanc Datblygu Cymru, yn cynnig llwybr ariannu posibl sy'n seiliedig ar ddyledion ar gyfer pryniannau gweithwyr, gyda chymorth i'r rheolwyr ar gael drwy Gronfa Olyniaeth Rheoli Cymru. 


Meddai Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:  



> "Mae perchnogaeth gan weithwyr yn rhoi cyfle i weithwyr gael cyfran sylweddol ac ystyrlon yn y busnes y maent yn gweithio iddo. Mae'n rhoi mwy o reolaeth iddynt dros eu tynged eu hunain. Mae hefyd yn rhoi tawelwch meddwl i berchnogion busnes fod dyfodol eu busnes mewn dwylo diogel, a bod dyfodol eu gweithwyr gwerthfawr iawn wedi'i ddiogelu yn y gymuned y cafodd y busnes ei ddatblygu ynddo.  
> 
> 
> "Roedd yn brofiad ysbrydoledig ymweld â Waffles Tregroes yn Llandysul i weld drosof fy hun sut mae perchnogaeth gan weithwyr wedi bod o fudd i'r busnes, y staff sy'n gweithio yno a'r gymuned leol ehangach.  
> 
> 
> "Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ddyblu nifer y busnesau sy'n eiddo i weithwyr erbyn 2026\. Er mwyn cyflawni hynny, rydym am ddarparu mwy o gymorth i weithwyr sy'n prynu. Rwy'n annog mwy o fusnesau i edrych ar y manteision a gynigir drwy Busnes Cymru a Busnes Cymdeithasol Cymru, er mwyn sicrhau bod cwmnïau yng Nghymru yn parhau i fod yn nwylo Cymry."


Dywedodd Kees Huysmans, Sylfaenydd Waffles Tregroes: 



> "Fy ngobaith yw y bydd perchnogaeth gan weithwyr yn rhoi'r cyfle gorau i Waffles  Tregroes ffynnu yn y byd ansefydlog hwn heddiw."
