The pair were visiting to learn more about the company’s research and development hub and praised the company, which currently employs more than 500 people at its two Oakdale sites.

    This is a great success story and a good score for both Wales and GB.

      It’s a shame irresponsible defence spending levels make ventures like this risky.

        We could always pay for it out of the foreign aid budget. That seems to be the “go” lately not that I’m complaining, perhaps we should use all the foreign aid budget on defence spending as there are a lot of foreign fighters on our soil now.
