TVR to halt production in UK, 250 jobs go.....

[johnny senna]

Just heard this on BBC News........

Maybe they are moving production outside the UK?

The news said the Blackpool factory is to close with the loss of all 250 jobs, no mention about moving or progressing the company anywhere else we will have to wait and see. I feel sorry for the people who will be loosing their jobs. Let's hope there is more positive news as the day progresses. They just said that there will be more news later about the closure.

I'd heard noises of South Africa, not Europe though.

A Sad time.

Tragic.

I wish they'd make their minds up. So have they found a site elsewhere? Bit of a joke really, they'll take ages to train people and get things up and running again. Who reckons Eastern Europe where employment and labour conditions may be more relaxed?

Hope they don't move to France

What a bl**dy mess!! Who ever is in charge of PR at the factory nowdays should consider there position I think. How can it be more cost effective to relocate to another county and train a whole new workforce from scratch. Really doesn't look good for the future.

I think they no longer have a position to consider

Other thread here, let's stick to one.
