    It would be wrong to blame Brexit, it was probably due to the decline in the demand for diesel engines.
    Sanand?

      Wages are now so high that only high end sectors like biscuits can afford to expand.

        I think it just just hurts a spineless expat like you that the UK is in the midst of an economic boom and the majority of the people here are living the good life.

                  I'm guessing lack of demand. Why buy a Ford when you can have a Merc?

                    Ford not investing in petrol engines anymore. Focusing on Electric.

                    Bridgend is not the only Ford plant suffering. Ford is also closing a plant in Bordeaux and cutting thousand of jobs in Germany.
