  3. Business in Wales look for assurancespublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 24 June 2016

    Wales has a small number of big companies but they employ a large number of people.

    Those that went public with a view such as Toyota, Airbus and Ford, made the case for remaining in the EU for sake of their businesses.

    Some of these companies wrote to workers urging them to consider this.

    Such companies will be extremely disappointed and will have to consider their response.

    Airbus has previously said Brexit could lead to the company deciding to invest elsewhere which will concern workers at Deeside.

    Companies do not like uncertainty but successful ones are also adaptable.

    Adapting to these radically changing circumstances will be the next challenge for them. Read more here.

    There should be no knee-jerk reactions either from employers or from politicians. A period of measured calm is required as a divided country and divided political parties find a way forward.

    Welsh fans staying in France for the Euro 2016 football championships awoke this morning to find the UK had voted to leave the European Union after Thursday's referendum.

    Antonio Costanza, 28, of Hirwaun, Rhondda Cynon Taff, said he was "happy" to receive the news.

    "When we're in the EU we can't save the steel industry, because of the quotas that China have with the EU, but also the fishing industry, we've seen that go downhill with the EU."

    Leanne Wood said she would "wait and see where people want to take this now". 

    She also said she would contact First Minister Carwyn Jones over the weekend as Labour and Plaid now need to "work together".

    Councillor Bob Wellington, leader of the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA), said: "Councils have strong links with Europe not least when it comes to the use of structural funds, workforce rights and legislation across key areas like food safety and air pollution. 

    "While we are signalling an end to our membership of the EU it is vital that promises made during the referendum by the Leave campaign to protect regeneration funding in Wales are honoured.

    "For City Regions, City Deals, the Metro and other big investment projects, a new and dynamic UK regional policy will now be required."

    Retails have suggested drivers could face higher petrol and diesel prices as a result of the vote to leave the EU.

    Brian Madderson, chairman of the Petrol Retailers Association, said a rise of 2p-3p a litre was on the cards because of the plunge in the value of the pound against the dollar and the fact wholesale fuel prices are quoted in dollars.
