The day offered a rich insight into the company\u2019s operations, from managing surface water and sewage systems to understanding performance and environmental responsibilities. We were especially impressed by D\u0175r Cymru\u2019s commitment to supporting women in the workplace and promoting STEM careers\u2014messages that strongly align with our own values. A highlight of the day was the live demonstration from Alan (we hope we\u2019ve remembered the name correctly!) and his specialist van, showcasing the equipment used to clear drains and the surprising items that often cause blockages. It was a valuable opportunity to hear directly from D\u0175r Cymru staff, challenging media myths and deepening our understanding of the challenges they face. As many of our members are active influencers within their communities, this engagement was both enlightening and empowering. Our sincere thanks to everyone involved for such a memorable experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"1146\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2024-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5387\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2024-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-1-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2024-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5388\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2024-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-2-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2024-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5389\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2024-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-1-Dwr-Cymru-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5390\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-1-Dwr-Cymru-5-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-1-Dwr-Cymru-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5391\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-1-Dwr-Cymru-7-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5392\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-3-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5393\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/wales-south\/files\/2025\/05\/2025-05-10-Dwr-Cymru-6-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STEM, Women in the Workplace, and an Insight into D\u0175r Cymru \u2013 A Wonderful Event&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":891,"featured_media":5387,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regional-news","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>D\u0175r Cymru Come Up Smelling of Roses | News | Blog | Events | SI Wales South<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Wales South : Blog &amp; News : D\u0175r Cymru Come Up Smelling of Roses : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Wales South .
