Commenting on Aston Martin’s warning that jobs are at risk at its St Athan plant in its ongoing costs review, South Wales Central Conservative MS Andrew RT Davies has called on the UK Government and Senedd ministers to provide support.
Up to 700 people are employed at the plant, and the announcement follows a decision to cut 170 jobs in February.
Mr Davies said:
“It is deeply concerning more jobs are at risk at Aston Martin’s St Athan plant following the decision to cut 170 roles back in February.
“Any more job losses will be devastating to the manufacturing sector in South Wales, that has not fully recovered from the loss of the Ford engine plant in Bridged.
“The UK Government and Senedd ministers must provide support to help the company navigate a difficult international trading picture and protect these jobs.”
