Brits will be better off outside the EU? Sure, and the Europeans too. Brits used to say they loved Europe but were always going to bed with the US. Enjoy, the UK lady was a Tr(u)mp!
What battery packs are going to China?
No sweat. Your Brits will be well off outside of EU anyhow. Better paying jobs are lining up for you.
Battery packs going from SHTC one by one. As well as tools. Can not see a future here anymore.
Is there no severance pay to Southampton staff?
Actually, next week.
Meanwhile, Management pretends to consult and employees do not even pretend to believe the lying toads.
Expect all of SHTC UK manufacturing will eventually move to China, especially the Powerdrive product and support teams.
Target to shutdown Southampton by mid September.
No one is talking about severance pay.
