3-5 year plans only, maximise profit in that period, then have a re-think. It seems to be the same no matter where you go.

most corporate senior people move on every 3-5 years and then the new guy comes in with all fresh new ideas, changes everything, reaps the profits, then moves onto the next cash cow.

short term profit over long term stability... they want money and they want it sooner rather than later.

Honda are now warning of a no deal Brexit is going to jeopardise their UK operations, I am afraid we voted Brexit we all knew it could bite us on the backside

All these companies are pushing for Government hand outs as Nissan received (allededgy)  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I think that Brexit is about boosting the Financial Services part of our economy, not the Manufacturing.

From what I read, most of the important backers come from, or have interest in, the Financial Services. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 76k+ miles) (MY2015)

Actually it is going to hurt the UK Financial sector - it will be difficult for UK based banks to lend or provide financial services into the rest of Europe post Brexit because they will no longer be approved through the Financial Passport process.

The company I work for has 50 people project managing this matter with major restructuring of the company structure and opening of new European based subsidiaries who will be able to offer services post Brexit - this process started to be planed before the vote took place as a contingency measure.

Personally I think we will be ok after a bit as people will begin to see gaps in UK markets for them to get into. As for motor industry, well MG have fetched out a SUV. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I might be wrong but I think that the MG SUV is made in China and only assembled in the UK.The MG company was sold to the Chinese a few years ago.

There again it could be design, not much difference between the shapes of Jaguar SUV's LR and the rest of the world SUV, the only one to stand out is the FFRR and that sells well in its niche sector, you want a car that stands out at LR prices not get lost in the woods of multiple SUV trees my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
