International industrial and metals group Liberty House has announced that former UK business minister Anna Soubry is to join the Greensteel Council, the high-level panel set up earlier this year to support the implementation of low-carbon solutions to the challenges facing steel and other metal production in the UK.
According to Liberty’s statement, the council is chaired by ex-Welsh government minister Edwina Hart. Ms. Soubry and Ms. Hart had collaborated previously via the special task force set up in Wales to seek ways to protect the threatened Port Talbot steel plant of India-headquartered Tata Steel.
The new Greensteel Council, which includes senior figures from the worlds of industry, science and politics, is sponsored by industrial group Liberty House and sister energy company SIMEC, both part of the global GFG Alliance.
