They knew that the majority would find it impossible to even contemplate such a move due to personal circumstances, I do wish anyone well that has decided to make the move but I feel the question of trust cannot truly exist under the circumstances.

Anyone that takes up a position should also be aware that they will be expected to stay with the company for a minimum of 2 years or they will be required to pay back any monies given to help with their relocation, possibly pro rata the longer they stay there.

As I have said on many occasions the is no need for anyone to move due to the high availability of jobs locally.
Albert Dock/Swansea were not the focus of the discussions. That situation is considered resolved and VM now appear to be looking to future measures in order to remain competitive.

I think that's sensible, but do hope that staff who have proved their commitment to VM are treated better in the future.

I have no knowledge of any pro rata relocation expenses being repayable beyond two years.

Nonsense.
