No need to apologise. That was really well written. And a fair amount of truth. In the automotive part they make good cars but the business isn’t doing well financially for a number of reasons. Covid isn’t the blame as these issues existed beforehand and the events of 2020 will just accelerate the fallout from these issues.

As we’ve just seen 1200 people are out of a job. That’s massive to lose 1/4 to a 1/3 of the workforce like that. If the company doesn’t make some much needed change in how it operates it’ll become the next Aston indeed.
