Aston Martin invests £200m in car manufacturing plant in Wales

Aston Martin is the latest company to make a significant investment in the UK since the EU referendum with a £200m investment in a new factory in St Athan in Wales.

The new factory in one of the MOD super-hangers in St Athan will be used to produce the company's new DBX model from 2020 and create 750 jobs.

We were promised a global economic apocalypse and an exodus of businesses from the UK if we voted for Brexit yet they seem to be falling over themselves to invest in our future.

Aston Martin says Brexit will help UK exports

The Chief Executive of Aston Martin has written to staff telling them that the UK leaving the EU would make them more competitive and increase exports.

Andy Palmer sent the memo to Aston Martin's 1,800 staff telling them that how they vote is a personal decision but that he is confident that the short term slowdown in GDP growth that is to be expected from Brexit would help UK exports.

If the Remainiacs are right and the Germans will stop selling cars to their largest export market when we leave we might all end up having to drive Aston Martin's. That would be terrible ... said nobody, ever.
