Commenting on the announcement that film production company Pinewood is to set up a new studio in South Wales, Suzy Davies AM, Shadow Minister for Heritage, said:
“The addition of the globally-recognised Pinewood production company to Wales’ already rich film production industry is very welcome.
“An increasing number of blockbuster films are being shot at locations across Wales and Pinewood’s new base will offer even more opportunities to see Wales on film, from which the whole country could benefit.
“I hope the Welsh Labour Government has learnt the lessons if its past forays into the creative industries and will support Pinewood’s investment as a major source of highly skilled employment.
“This very welcome announcement is further evidence of Wales’ growing reputation, as an ideal venue for filmmakers, with the right skills mix to tantalise future cinema goers and movie fans.”
