Despite the U.K. going through a redundancy consultation where they are legally meant to be working towards reducing the number of redundancies I see Exxon UK proudly announced on LinkedIn this morning they have brought in a Canadian expat to Fawley vs trying to save a U.K.

@qe+1jwxfc3a3 The UK business is already sold, but we don't know who bought it yet. I've heard the rumours of NA having packaged purchase for another EM refinery or business. I'd be surprised if it was NA however because the UK business price will be higher than Esso SAF. I think it's more likely someone bigger.
The North American company that purchased Port-Jerome Gravenchon is the logical #1 bidder for Fawley. Fawley and Port Jerome are just a stones throw away from each other.
The hatchet man is here!
@jv+1jwxfc3a3 As you know, Fawley hasnt forgotten to run it's FCC. Please clearly articulate your point, this isn't an Exxon PowerPoint 😁
@js u think Baytown could get away with forgetting to run the FCC for 6 months?
@hy+1jwxfc3a3 Not really, the moral is don't expect an American company to have any interest in Europe.
Moral of the story?
Keep your FCC running, kids.
That means Fawley is on the sales block
Link to LinkedIn post?
He's not there to save the UK business, he's there to hand over the keys, nothing more.
Finance background. You don't bring in someone with his background to help a site that's in the worst position in over 20 years... He's there to handover to the number 1 person in the new buyers organisation who will be located coincidentally in that role in Fawley.
His job is to help sell Fawley refinery, duh
well, don't vultures prey on carrion?
