In Gwynedd on Friday I paid a visit to Siemens in Llanberis, where I met Finance Director Judy Owen. This is a real success story and recent developments there have given a great boost to the area.
The work which is carried out at present in their Los Angeles plant will now be transferred to Llanberis, meaning the creation of almost 200 new jobs in Gwynedd, and the consolidation of the existing 327 jobs in Llanberis.
As you can imagine, this has been very well received, not only in Gwynedd, but across Wales, and great credit is due to the management team in Llanberis, as well as the work force. Not surprisingly, Judy Owen told us that they had already received a large number of applications for the new vacancies.
