Welsh Automotive Forum – Notice of Dissolution

 Following the announcement by Welsh Government of the closure of Industry Wales, and the consequent withdrawal of core support, the Board of the Welsh Automotive Forum has resolved to dissolve the organisation following the end of the current financial year.

All options to secure a sustainable alternative operating model have been carefully considered. No viable solution has been identified.

The Board has therefore concluded that an orderly, solvent wind-down is the most responsible course of action. The Forum will complete its remaining activities and administrative processes before entering formal dissolution. The company will close in a solvent position.

For more than 25 years, the Forum has represented and connected the Welsh automotive supply chain, supporting collaboration, supplier development and policy engagement at both Welsh and UK levels.

The dissolution of the Forum does not reflect a weakening of the sector. Wales remains a highly manufacturing-intensive economy with a strong advanced manufacturing base.

Members and stakeholders with questions regarding this transition are invited to contact the Forum directly.
