Dr Francis said,

"I have been anxious to know how local companies are able to respond to the present economic difficulties. I recently paid a visit to Rhino Engineering and met its Managing Director, Mr Colin Brown.

In recent evidence to the Welsh Affairs Committee, the Olympics Minister, Tessa Jowell MP, mentioned that one of the Welsh Companies to benefit from the Olympics was Rhino Engineering and I was glad to be able to convey my congratulations first hand to Mr Brown.

I was also pleased to know how Government initiatives were helping to ease the difficulties for local companies. I will continue to monitor the situation and will be keen to meet other companies"
