HRH The Prince of Wales unveils plaque at Charcroft Electronics

A plaque commemorating the 25th anniversary of Charcroft Electronics’ move to Dol-y-Coed, in Llanwrtyd Wells, has been unveiled by HRH The Prince of Wales. During a tour of Charcroft’s distribution offices and CECC-approved manufacturing facility, HRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall talked to Charcroft employees and saw a demonstration of precision resistor trimming.

Managing director, Paul Newman, comments; “The Royal visit marks the date on which Charcroft relocated to Dol-y-Coed, where we have continued to develop our specialist distribution linecard and manufacturing services to become the largest employer in Llanwrtyd Wells.”

Built circa 1535, Dol-y-Coed was a renowned spa hotel during the Victorian era. HRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall were shown how Charcroft has completely renovated this historic building, with the help of local craftsmen, to combine its original character with a high-tech 21st century business. Use of reclaimed materials has been a priority during the restoration and has included using wood from a fallen oak tree.
