A £3.5m funding boost at Vestas Blades has been reported on IW Radio this morning, the money set to feed into research for offshore wind turbines.

Back in July, it was reported that the new facility in Stag Lane would create around 250 jobs, but we hear today that this figure has now increased to 400.
