Jobs

Pembrokeshire's economy is based on the traditional agriculture and tourism sectors and around the Haven an industrial zone which at one time had 4 oil refinery sites. The strong military presence that helped maintain the County has long gone and we are now down from 2 to1 0il refinery. When Murco closed a year ago the shock was profound and the Welsh Government responded by creating the Haven Waterway Enterprise Zone. This gives companies significant advantages if they are to move their business into the zone.
This week a huge development has been unveiled and has began the planning process with the claim it could create 1000 jobs. It is a food park, where fresh produce will be processed ,packed and distributed using raw materials produced by the our agriculture sector. Supporting agriculture and creating 1000 jobs is a welcome move and long over due.
