The impact has been felt by many in the town.
Having grown up in Port Talbot, Dan Morgan wanted to offer work to some of those made redundant.
Two years ago, he established South Wales Water, which is a contractor for the water utilities industry across the UK.
He applied to the Tata Steel transition board, which had £100m of funds to help with the reskilling an re-employment of Tata workers.
The money has allowed him to bring in 12 employees who were either directly employed by Tata or were within the supply chain.
“A number of generations of my family worked in the steelworks – my uncles and my grandfather,” he added.
