Any ideas where they are going to go to?
Greece? Portugal?
What do they make and what skills do they need?
It is all well and good saying we are going to relocate but that is a costly business in itself and given that no one can predict what the markets will be like next never mind in 2-4 years time which is about how long it would take to relocate a major company then that just seems to be a somewhat knee jerk reaction.
Or maybe they were thinking of it anyway and are now just using it as an excuse?Comment

They'll always do what's right for their profits, why do you think Ford Transit vans are now made in Turkey and not Southampton?
Edit: Yes I know Turkey isn't in the EU it's just an exampleIn Scooter we trustComment
