This week Fay Jones MP joined Riversimple, James Evans MS and Secretary of State for Wales Simon Hart MP to welcome HRH The Prince of Wales to Llandrindod Wells. Prince Charles visited Riversimple to learn more about their hydrogen fuelled car.
On his second day of Wales Week Prince Charles visited to learn more about the hydrogen powered car and the company developing them. A refueller has been installed in the centre of Abergavenny for trials due to take place with the general public. During the visit Prince Charles also test drove their Rasa car.
James Evans MS said:
It was fantastic to be able to showcase the best of Brecon and Radnorshire manufacturing today to HRH The Prince of Wales, who visited Riversimple in Llandrindod Wells.
Riversimple is a company that is developing Hydrogen powered cars.
Myself, Fay Jones MP, the Secretary of State for Wales Simon Hart MP and the Leader of Powys County Council Rosemarie Harris, were in attendance to discuss how we can ensure manufacturing can continue to grow here in Brecon and Radnorshire!
Fay Jones said
“It is a huge privilege to welcome HRH The Prince of Wales to Riversimple. I used to work for his Royal Highness as a researcher in his private office so it was a very special moment to welcome him here as a Member of Parliament.
I’ve been working with Riversimple for some months now and it’s vital that the Welsh and the UK Government give them the support they need to create green jobs and opportunities for young people to stay in Brecon and Radnorshire”
