Ford's Bridgend plant in the frame for Tesla factory

A potential home for a new UK Tesla factory will hit the market this summer when the site of carmarker Ford's former Bridgend car plant in South Wales is put up for sale. The engine plant, which employed 1000 people, closed its doors for the final time last September after 40 years of operation and is due to be marketed this summer by property consultant CBRE, industry sources said.
