Prior to being the Community Manager at ICE, Llinos worked as the Operations Manager at Cardiff charity, Pedal Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supported by her management team, Llinos will now work closely with the board of directors, including Adrian Walker, who has managed the business and mentored the team as Interim Managing Director for the past year, Stephen Burt, Annie Browne, William Record, Lesley Williams and its Chair, Anthony Record MBE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Llinos said she was keen to get started: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI\u2019m delighted to take on this new role and am excited to start working with our partners and wider stakeholders. Having started at the grassroots of ICE, I\u2019ve followed the journey of so many of its members, sharing the highs and lows as they start and grow.<\/p><p>\u201cThe working environment has changed over the past two to three years, and there are more challenges to overcome. Demand for small office space is growing, but many workers are still adjusting to the changes and weighing up the balance of going back to the office or working from home.<\/p><p>\u201cCoworking remains more than just a place to work, however. 77% of our member businesses have a survival rate of three years or more &#8211; higher than the UK average of 61%. When you consider that three-quarters of our businesses have formal agreements with each other &#8211; that tells a story.<\/p><p>\u201cIn its early days, ICE was often referred to as an incubator &#8211; nurturing fledgling businesses and championing entrepreneurship. What ICE provides is the environment for people to succeed. It\u2019s the natural networking that leads to prosperous collaborations. It\u2019s the support of peers who have already experienced and solved the problems facing new members. When people work together, they form a community and grow.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cMy role now is to ensure that ICE continues to be the place where people choose to start, grow and build their businesses and careers. That job will be made easier thanks to the fantastic support of my team and the board, and I look forward to building the strategy that can take the company and community forward.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><cite>LLINOS NEALE, CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1179\" height=\"847\" data-src=\"https:\/\/welshice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GSD09859-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12906 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/welshice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GSD09859-1.jpg 1179w, https:\/\/welshice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GSD09859-1-600x431.jpg 600w, https:\/\/welshice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GSD09859-1-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/welshice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/GSD09859-1-20x14.jpg 20w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1179px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1179\/847;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Chair of ICE, Anthony Record MBE, said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cHaving worked in and experienced all aspects of the business &#8211; Llinos has a perspective that is unique and gives her a valuable understanding of our ethos that can be difficult to replicate.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cAs a Board, we feel Llinos has the ideas and the attitude to lead the organisation and that she will continue to build on our proud achievements.
