Welsh Conservatives Leader Visits Innovative Company

The leader of the Welsh Conservative Group in the National Assembly, Andrew Davies AM, visited a Cardiff-based company whose gadgets are the stuff of James Bond movies.

Protective and Survival Equipment

BCB International Ltd is a leading designer and manufacturer of protective and survival equipment that helps soldiers, mariners and outdoor enthusiasts operate and survive in extreme conditions across the world.  During his visit, Andrew Davies was briefed about a number of the company’s latest innovations including an air-pressurised cannon that stops pirates in their tracks, an environmentally friendly outdoor cooking fuel made from British grown sugar cane as well as a small and lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle ideal for surveillance tasks.

Andrew Davies was briefed by BCB International Ltd’s Managing Director, Andrew Howell, who said: “We were delighted to welcome Andrew Davies to our Headquarters and brief him about a number of new exciting products we are working on. We are a company that doesn’t stand still; we continuously look to manufacture new innovative products that help to save lives.  We look forward to welcoming Andrew Davies back.”

Following his visit, Andrew Davies said: “This was a fascinating visit and it was great to be kept abreast of developments in this field. Some of the products that they have recently developed bring to mind James Bond or Harry Palmer, but on a serious note it is great to see the efforts that they put in to raising the standards for security and safety equipment.”

“I was also interested to discuss the support that the Welsh Government can and does provide to businesses of their size and genre. A number of interesting issues were raised and I am looking forward to discussing these matters again with BCB in the near future.”
