  11. Over ‘300 skilled jobs’ secured for Port Talbot Steel works green transition plan

    Tata Steel say the new jobs in the local supply chain will be part of new contracts signed with Bridgend-based companies Darlow Lloyd & Sons, Wernick Buildings, and Swansea-based business, Andrew Scott Ltd. 

    Darlow Lloyd & Sons will play a key role in the initial phases of the project, overseeing excavation, recycling, infrastructure, and drainage works essential to the site’s transition to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking.

    Director, Rhys Lloyd, said: “We are delighted to announce this partnership which will boost employment across Neath Port Talbot and lay the foundation for future growth across the manufacturing sector.

    “Our involvement in this transformation is not only a privilege, but fundamental to maintaining our strong presence and heritage at the site.

    “This collaboration safeguards our experienced workforce and allows us to appoint local experts with transferable skillsets to this once-in-a-lifetime project.”

    David Evan Williams, Civil Contracts Director said: “Having worked major on civil and construction projects at Port Talbot since the late 1800s, our involvement in this transformation is not only a privilege, but fundamental to maintaining our strong presence and heritage at the site. 

    “We have committed to supporting local talent, ensuring that we fill positions with our skilled workforce, alongside experienced former Tata Steel workers and experts in the supply chain. As work progresses, we aim to provide further opportunities for individuals in surrounding communities to help deliver this exciting vision.”

    Ben Wernick, Managing Director, Wernick Buildings added: “We are thrilled to bring our wealth of experience in the modular construction sector to deliver the centrepiece of Port Talbot’s contractor village; an 8500 square metre space spanning three buildings, comprised of offices and welfare zones.

    “90% of the workers we employ to build this impressive space will be from communities surrounding the steelworks – spanning Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Cardiff – allowing us to nurture and grow regional talent.”

    UK Industry Minister, Sarah Jones commented: “Today’s news is a major boost for communities in South Wales, delivering high-skilled opportunities for local people, and will help Welsh steelmaking to drive growth and attract further investment as part of our Plan for Change.”  

    Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens added: “We have supported Tata Steel with £500m to safeguard Welsh steelmaking and I’m pleased that the company is itself investing in the local supply chain, securing hundreds of jobs and driving economic growth.

    “It is fantastic news for the South Wales economy that local firms have secured these major contracts to deliver the transformation of steelmaking at Port Talbot.”

    Lloyd Bryant, Head of Infrastructure & Amenities, Tata Steel, concluded: “The expertise of these long-standing contractors is key to the success of our transformation. 

    “We look forward to collaborating with them, under Sir Robert McAlpine’s supervision, to safeguard the future of sustainable steelmaking in the area, securing jobs and ensuring the long-term viability of steelmaking in Wales for generations.”

  20. Liebe Rollenspiel-Freunde,

    am gestrigen Sonntag wurde zum ersten Mal in diesem Jahr im Kinder- und Jugendzentrum Die Burg wieder Pen & Paper gespielt.

    Bei "Hyborean Sellswords" (Open D20 -Systems, Stand 3.5) ging es um das Sternenjuwel und die Runde hatte eine Menge Spaß.

Falls sich die #Buchstodon oder #pnpde fragen, was ich jetzt lese, wo ich von der "Löwin von Neetha" und #Aventurien etwas Abstand genommen habe (bevor ich da weiter lesen werde): "Road to Patriarch" (Sellswords Trilogy 3) von R.A.Salvatore, ein #Fantasy Roman in der #DungeonsAndDragons Welt der #ForgottenRealms. Hatte die Reihe um #DrizztDoUrden und seine Gegner an der Stelle lange unterbrochen, während M, mit der ich das semi parallel lese, schon bei Gauntlegrym ist, wie wir heute besprachen.
