Statement by North Antrim MLA Jim Allister:
“The plans to create 300 new jobs at Wrightbus is most welcome. A few short years ago this was a company on the edge but, as this news underscores, they have fought back and are now securing substantial orders.
“The talent of the workforce is clear. This is a company with real potential, at the cutting edge of green technology. With a strong order book, things are looking up after the challenges which Wrightbus – and manufacturing generally – have faced in recent times.”
