Tales from Wales show the challenges of COVID-19 and Brexit

Abstract

Recently the rather unusual plans of a new entrant into automotive manufacturing –Ineos –to make SUVs in Wales have been paused (for which read almost certainly cancelled); shortly after this news came reports that a fledgling –but as yet not fully funded –British start-up, Britishvolt, would build a gigafactory for in Wales, near the new Aston Martin plant. One piece of bad news quickly followed by a piece of potentially good news.Maybe, or maybe not.
