[Goffer]

Rumours are rife at SIMA that Shaun Wealleans has left Sumo,

The website seems to confirm this as he's not on the staff pages

seems this is no longer a rumour as mach trade locally confirmed this lunchtime . left of his own accord , apparently not happy with direction sumo was going . sad news!

He did sell out though didn't he so really he can blame nobody else. Sold to the wrong people clearly.

indeed he did , highly possible he's got out at the top of his game.

It must be really hard to lose control of something that you have developed, however, he has achieved a lot, and I bet he will go on to achieve more.

Looking at who liked green giants post.... I guess they may well tell the truth for themselves. Wish SW all the best , only ever heard positive things about him from his staff and customers alike

An American corporation sells to an EU state. Good start eh

Actually GM is part of the Fiat, Chrysler, CNHI group of companies so while quoted on the NYSE, they are kinda European. Weren't PSA subject to huge French Government intervention a while ago??? With the tighter employment laws in France and particularly Germany, it's no wonder there is concern for the two British plants. No doubt Brexit concerns will appear somewhere in the "blurb" that appears over the next few days/weeks/months

What a subsidy for industry? No that can't be right they aren't farmers!

Is this the big hush hush take over the duck was quacking about? I suppose it could have been as he didn't really say much apart from dangle a carrot about s huge take over?

No I think he was on about his local chippy being bought out by the kebab shop 3 doors down

Don't think there'll be a major panic over jobs in Ellesmere unless my neighbour goes pop which is highly unlikely. Ellesmere Port on the other hand.................

With all this rumours can be very damaging to person or company if not true

I though the vauxhall plants were meant to be.pretty well run in the UK? Vauxhall have a decent name at the moment

But, they have lost money every year in Europe, (reported $15b), GM was foolishly given huge amounts of taxpayer funding by our last administration to keep the vote..........in the real world they should have taken chapter 11 bankrupcy, re-organized/slimmed down and emerged a more efficient and profitable corp

Feel pretty sure Ford did not really want to sell Landrover/Volvo at the time but economics always dictate in the end.
