Vauxhall chief warns of Brexit threat to Ellesmere Port
The head of Vauxhall has said lack of clarity over Brexit threatens the future of its Ellesmere Port operation. Speaking to the BBC's International Business Correspondent Theo Leggett at the Geneva Motor Show he said the decision on whether or not to give Ellesmere more work will need to be taken "Very soon". The company said last year it was committed to keep making the Astra at Ellesmere Port, but it has also said that manufacturing costs at Ellesmere were higher than other plants it owned. It said this month that it was cutting another 250 jobs at its Ellesmere Port car plant on top of the 400 cuts it announced in October. Vauxhall employs about 4,500 people in the UK, with about 1,800 at Ellesmere Port.
