Newport is a vibrant city with a rich and dynamic history, known for its significant role in the Industrial Revolution as the leading coal port for Wales.

Today, the city is home to small and established businesses in various sectors, including retail, manufacturing, and professional services. It is a great place for established companies and start-ups alike, thanks to its strategic location between Cardiff and Bristol, offering opportunities to reach more customers and suppliers.

Newport is a thriving place for businesses, with office spaces, a high employment rate and exciting opportunities for growth. Home to the largest business Conference Centre in Wales, the ICCW, the city attracts both entrepreneurs and established businesses alike. Plus, with around 4,665 active businesses in the NP area, you’ll be in great company.

While being strategically located is beneficial, the real impact comes from having the right financial support. All businesses can benefit from having a qualified accountant monitor financial performance, maintain compliance, and identify areas for growth. At Total Books, we do exactly that.
