Well that is that - Redundancy
Today it has become public knowledge the Ford dealer that my son & I both work for is to close at the end of the year so redundancy is looming.
Some of you already know that ( over the years ) I have had some 'challenging' times there but overall it has been a good place to work & after nearly 15 years I will be sad to leave it behind. Luckily ( for some ) it is just this site that is closing & the business is being moved to the Kia & Mazda site the owners have not too far away, however, there is no bodyshop there & this is the department my son & I work in. So what is next for us - well at this stage I don't know - I am sure something will turn up but I know for a fact I will not be looking at bodyshop management again, more than likely I will just go back as a vehicle damage assessor. I am confident Ross will find something quite quickly. One thing I am sure of is that the 260 will have to go - I will be taking a cut in salary and also I actually store the car at work so obviously I will have to move it so, if anyone is after a bargain monogram Chagall 260se then keep an eye out for the car being listed for sale in the not too distant future. Steve. |

Sorry to hear the news but at least you know it’s going to happen. Gives you more time to look around for another job.
Mmmm!!!!! A 260 SE in Chagall.

I suspect the company may part of the Lookers group ? My mate has just been made redundant and the garage is being closed next month and no work is being taken in. They have also closed other Ford garages in the North East which is awkward due to the amount of new Transits breaking down and garages shutting their diaries due to the backlog.
