I think this has been on the cards for some time, i went through the same pain in Scotland but was lucky enough to stay with the business and I hope that any affected in AD have the same opportunity.

Unlikely that many if any will move or be relocated in another centre and the are two important elements that are only based at the Albert Dock and to lose those people will not be a good thing for the company but it is their decision.

I know that just using your post as a sounding board to emphasise my point.:)

I would prefer the truth from the company rather than them trying to pull the wool over our eyes but I know that will never happen as big business never work in that way, subterfuge is the tool of choice when going down the redundancy road.

I am sorry sorry to here about any job loss in the UK . A backward step I feel in losing UK jobs to the far east. Are there any petitions out there ? or is it a done deal .
As with all big business its mushroom management.
