Westland Helicopters

Couple of hundred jobs gone in Yeovil. May have a knock on for our company? :open_mouth:

Dont want to dwell on bad news but this is what our local news reported during the recent BAE Systems redundancies, that for every person BAE make redundant then 4 more jobs outside BAE either in the logistical or small time manufacturing companies are at risk. Not good at all.

Said 400 jobs to go on the local news tonight, mainly office staff but shop floor staff not safe either.
Apparently linked to a major order for the MoD going to the yanks?
