Make the most of Academy, says Smith
Feb 16 2008 by Gerry Holt, South Wales Echo
VALE MP John Smith says the 162,500 new trainees starting at the St Athan defence academy could transform South Wales’ economy.
Mr Smith said: “My message to businesses and organisations in the Vale is get ready for the once-in-a- lifetime opportunities.
“With an expected annual onsite population of 12,000 people, the academy will need to be supplied with mountains of food, lakes of drink and miles of shoe laces. If we get it right, the academy has the potential to transform the South Wales economy.”
