Date published:
John McCabe, Chief Executive, North East England Chamber of Commerce, said: “We warmly welcome the news Recharge Industries has completed the acquisition of Britishvolt and can hopefully now accelerate plans to develop a battery factory with a thriving regional supply chain.
“This transformative project has the potential to place the North East, and the UK, at the front of battery manufacturing.
“With its excellent port, road and rail links, and the availability of renewable energy sources, there is no better site on which to build such a huge facility.
“The North East has an incredibly-skilled workforce and local partners, including the Chamber, will be eager to provide support for the project. These are exciting times for our region and we look forward to Recharge Industries playing its part in our economic renewal.”
