Rhys Pring
Cardiff
"There's a real sense of ownership because the reputation you create and the relationships you develop are yours."
From hands-on experience to local business owner
Rhys Pring launched Pacifica Local Cardiff in August 2026, bringing years of experience in hands-on technical roles and customer service to his new business. With a background that developed both his problem-solving ability and his skill with customers, Rhys was ready to put that experience into building something of his own.
The opportunity to run an independent business while having the backing of an established national brand was a key attraction. Pacifica Local gave him the balance he was looking for — control over his own schedule and direction, with access to experienced support whenever needed.
Living in Bedwas, Rhys already knows the Cardiff community well and takes pride in helping local households keep their appliances running. Now fully operational across his territory, he is focused on building a strong reputation and establishing himself as the trusted local repair expert across Cardiff and the surrounding area.

Independence backed by the right support
For Rhys, the appeal of Pacifica Local was clear from the start — the ability to be his own boss, work his own hours, and build something local, without having to do it entirely alone. The combination of independence and a support network that's always at the end of the phone made the decision straightforward.
"Being in charge of my own schedule and having responsibility for the whole area was a big attraction."
"I know Cardiff, Caerphilly and this part of South Wales really well, so I want Pacifica Local to become a name people here trust."
Experience put to work, on his own terms
A background built on technical ability and customer care — and the confidence to turn that experience into a business of his own.
Building Technical & Customer Skills
Rhys developed his experience across hands-on technical roles and customer-facing work, building the problem-solving skills and people skills that underpin a successful repair business. He understood what customers needed — not just technically, but in how they were looked after.
Ready for the Next Step
With a solid foundation of experience behind him, Rhys recognised the opportunity to stop working for someone else and start building something of his own. Pacifica Local offered the right model — independence with support, and a clear path to growth.
Launched Pacifica Local Cardiff
Rhys launched in August 2026 and moved quickly from preparation to active trading. Now fully operational across Cardiff, Caerphilly, and the surrounding area, he is building the local reputation that will become the foundation for long-term growth.
Building a reputation, job by job
Since launching Pacifica Local Cardiff in August 2026, Rhys has been focused on what matters most — delivering great repairs, earning customer trust, and establishing himself as the name people turn to across Cardiff and beyond.
Fully Operational Territory
From launch to active trading swiftly, Rhys is now serving customers across Cardiff, Caerphilly, and surrounding areas — building a steady pipeline of repairs and repeat customers.
Trust Built One Job at a Time
With every completed repair, Rhys earns the kind of local word-of-mouth reputation that grows a business for the long term. Customer trust is his primary focus at this stage of the journey.
Rooted in the Community
As a Bedwas local, Rhys serves a community he genuinely knows — understanding the households he visits and the relationships that keep customers coming back.
Plans to Scale
With solid foundations in place, Rhys has clear ambitions to add more vans and expand his reach — growing Pacifica Local Cardiff from a sole operation into a bigger, broader business.
Out on the road, building his business
Rhys runs Pacifica Local Cardiff day-to-day as a hands-on owner — out in the field completing repairs, maintenance, and installations for homeowners across Cardiff, Caerphilly, and the surrounding area.
The job blends two things Rhys has always valued: the satisfaction of solving a technical problem and the personal side of working with customers directly. When it's your own business, those interactions carry extra weight — every job is an opportunity to build on a growing local reputation.
Behind each day in the field is the reassurance of Pacifica Local's support network. Whether it's a tricky diagnostic or a question about the business, experienced engineers and managers are available at the end of the phone — meaning Rhys can take on jobs confidently, knowing help is always there if he needs it.
