“This event will be an ideal opportunity for local businesses to hear first hand from the sector experts what potential opportunities there maybe arising from new nuclear build at Wylfa.  It is essential that local businesses prepare for this huge proposed investment and importantly benefit from it” Sasha Wynn Davies – Energy Island Programme Director.
