We don't want new manufacturing in Wales! What remains of industry should be offshored to China and other third-world sweatshops so they can make the stuff which we can purchase cheaply. We can pay for it by increasing national and household debt to yet greater heights. Globalisation has worked a treat so far with rampant consumerism displacing UK jobs. Nothing can go wrong with this economic model.
coolred i guess you are talking a car assembly plant ? in terms of auto suppliers there is a thriving supply chain in Wales supporting lots of jobs to some of the major car OEM's . the supply chain into these are called tier 1 or tier 2 suppliers , bridgend ford , gestamp are 2 which spring to mind tho ford are going through a challenging time
with aston martin and possibly TVR coming down here there is a strong possibility that a few more suppliers will come down too which will be good for the Wales manufacturing industry. the law of averages in the auto industry if someone like JLR take on 1 worker the supply chain will take on 3 workers .
i,m sure brexit will have an effect to how it all pans out in the next few years
Whether the people support a car manufacturing plant in Wales is an irrelevance. The decision to site such a factory for mass produced cars will depend almost entirely on the financial support on offer from the government and will have nothing to do with whether CCFC supporters like the idea or not.
With BREXIT on the horizon the concept is also unlikely as manufacturers of mass produced vehicles will be more likely to be looking at moving car production out of the UK rather than setting up new plants.
