Default Coghlan Russell Back In Production

To all concerned, Coghlan Russell Engineering has resumed production as of today. We held a vote this morning and it was unanimous. Cheers.

If Ford payed Coghlan Russell 2 months of running costs what happens after that. Down the tubes within a few months like Ajax? Enough time for Ford to find alternate suppliers? What have you guys been told will happen.

Sorry for responding a bit late but things are all up the ***** chute at the moment. We had meeting today and we are basically waiting for a buyer. Cant say too much more or go into detail on here as it would take up a ***** load of space. Lets just say that tensions are running very high at work at the moment. Not a nice situation to be in. We all know whos to blame but his time is coming. Like i said in a earlier post i really cant see a viable future at the place but stranger things have happened. Id love to go into the details of the rescue package and administrator costs and all that but like i said its very detailed and would take alot of time. Cheers.
