Ford have announced a sharp reduction in the planned investment at its Bridgend plant which makes engines for various models (HERE). They will reduce investment to £100m from the planned £181m and will halve number of engines made from 2018 to 125,000 per year.
There is no suggestion in the report that this has anything at all to do with Brexit and probably Ford have had this in the pipeline for some time. But the Unite union said it was "deeply concerning and must raise serious questions over Ford's long term commitment to Bridgend".
It is a long time since Ford produced vehicles in the UK but they have invested heavily in engine production here but now it appears even that is coming to an end.
