Thumbs down BOSCH closing

I know there are a few peeps on here who work for BOSCH in Llantrisant. I hope everything works out for you and I really feel for you all at the moment. I hope Brown pulls his finger out and does you all a favour.

We all knew it was coming, they think it will be shut in about 18 months but will be gradually winding down til then, looks like the first to go will be around 300 people in about June this year.

Time to start looking for a job , if anyone knows of any mechanical techs job going anywhere let me know

Hey guys, hope it all works out for you. We are having the same issues with Bosch over here in Melbourne, Australia. My husband has just been laid off after 13 and a half years.
the car industry is in dire straits here too, we were looking at going back to Wales (I'm from Porthcawl) but looks like Bosch is out now....bummer.
Good luck
