GLANAMAN legend Shane Williams OBE raised money for a very worthy cause when he attended a successful meet and greet with staff at Aston Martin’s St Athan plant as the co-founder of FabFour Coffee.

All proceeds from coffee sales during event will be donated to FabFour Coffee’s chosen charity, the Velindre Cancer Centre

Williams said he was delighted that the coffee had been selected by the iconic brand to be served at Aston Martin’s manufacturing site in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The former rugby player, who attended Amman Valley Comprehensive School, founded FabFour Coffee with fellow ex-Wales and British and Irish Lions players Mike Phillips, James Hook and Lee Byrne.

They had three goals in mind: to create great tasting coffee, to keep their long-standing friendship intact and to make a contribution to the Velindre Cancer Centre, known as the ‘Hospital of Hope’.

St Athan staff enjoyed a caffeinated break from hand building the marque’s luxury SUV, the Aston Martin DBX, to chat to the Wales international about his sporting, business, and charity endeavors.

Stuart Lord, Director of Manufacturing, St Athan at Aston Martin said: “We really enjoyed meeting Shane at our on-site coffee shop.

"International athletes are excellent role models for high-performance, whether that be on the pitch or in business.

"As well as great coffee, the story behind FabFour Coffee is about lasting friendships and charity which are principles that are also true to Aston Martin.

"Aston Martin, along with its catering provider Just Perfect Catering, are happy to support Shane and his fellow co-founders, with FabFour Coffee now sold in the staff restaurant at St Athan.

"All proceeds from sales of coffee during yesterday’s event were donated to the Velindre Cancer Centre."

Velindre Cancer Centre is a specialist cancer diagnostic and treatment centre located on the perimeter of Cardiff, providing services to over 1.5 million people across South East Wales and beyond.

Each year it treats over 5,000 new referrals and around 50,000 outpatients and aims  to provide patients and their families with the best possible care and treatment.
