“No. It is because the majority of the customers of that factory were in the EU, not the UK. Their biggest factory in the UK though is going to remain in the UK.”
I’m lost here…so they closed a factory in the UK because most of its customers were in the EU, but that’s nothing to do with those customers wanting bearings produced in the EU because the supply chain would be secure?
I hope their Sheffield factory does remain open…but I would think that a ‘no deal’ and the consequential departure of most of the UK automotive manufacturing sector to the EU or Japan (which now has a good trade deal with the EU), would kill it off.
But, as Boris would say…F Business!
Just over half the people of Sheffield voted for Brexit… I’m hope they have got some other jobs lined up just in case.
