My god.

What entered the donkey into the horse race
Anson not anton. Thick heed
Albus D-mbledore ... how wrong you were, the Anton product line is alive and flourishing, now being manufactured properly in Scotland.
Now keep eating the fishy on the dishy, thou shall have the sardine when the boat comes in ....
The anson product line is dead. and anyone working either at Gateshead or up at kintore on that product will soon be gone.
You have been warned.
The inability to have Agility, with a wealth of resources says a t all?????
The inability to lead and manage the wealth of resource and skill says a t all.
That’s why you outsource, to save on cost and evade accountability.
Keep milking the cow.
Hahaha it’s too easy to claim an agile business when you outsource.
How’s your environmental footprint? Are ships powered by electricity these days?
And make sure any scrap goes in the correct bin/warehouse.
Rather sad when the pipe and fittings guys moved in and turn over more then a fully fledged manufacturing facility.
Goes to show how easy it is to be an agile business

Come on now, let’s draw a sand in the line.
Think you missed the point there Einstein.
The primary difference between who and whom is that we use 'who', when we want to talk about the subject of a sentence,
I’ll school you no problem
"Whom invited"
Who invited a redundant shop floor to correct office staff on grammar.
Do you not mean legible, thickhead
If you're going to post, at least make it eligible.
Office engineers. Customer relations. For those who are still employed by in the toxic Gateshead culture
You would lol not get a massive payout for lengthy service. However one port their pension. No loss to one’s retirement
came on here to see if anyone still bothered, Jesus lads let it go. We have all moved on now, life is far too short to be so bitter
I wont be back so all the best to all of the lads who worked at nov
I work in sales
I’m proud
And I’m not sure what to do.
But I didn’t do enough to
I'm sure I can do better
Still stealing a living.
I’m proud to be a new inspector.
And I’m not sure what to do.
But if sausage can do it.
I'm sure I can too.
Cause sausage hasn’t got a clue.
La la la laaaa
From a Kintore point of view, I thought Gateshead was closed ? How many people are still working there
Can't put the blame on the individuals within departments, it's the people in charge making the decisions. More managers than actual workers and none of them willing to stand up and admit they f#cked up. Low cost sourcing is more expensive and takes 3x longer to arrive if it actually turns up.
It’s the monkeys that are I or have been in charge of the facility
Sales, production, GM etc all have a hand in the demise
Sales, engineering, and estimators the empire that has been built is imploding
Your time is up.
Unbelievable.
Can’t even execute a simple shut down
Says it all
For those left. Your hanging, totally unemployable (would of found a position by now) this is what happens when
1 Institutionied, know nothing better than where and what you do
2 Promoted, via incompetence by incompetent peers, friends and or family. Who are equally incompetent
3 As per 2. These people have gone to jobs. Your in a reduced employment seeking what you do, your skills don’t match current employment market.
4 Completely out of touch
Nobody ’works’ at Gateshead anymore, they got rid of all the skilled workers
40 at Gateshead none are working ha IT got the boot BIG MAC GOING and Sales / estimaters going only a rumour ?
How many staff are still working in gitshead ?
Hardly a genius move having equipment made / machined in a country that has no valve within Middle East.
So is that it all over, is all that’s left for Skeletor to sell the premises ? After 40 years all that’s left is for a bald di----t to get the money for the buildings/land ?
Seriously ?
Is this place still manufacturing the same unreliable cr-p unbelievable aint it I thought it closed down years ago probably should of
Not long now until total closure god bless the lord what a total corrupt badly run company good luck to all the shop floor
Finland and Sweden have joined nato there will be no low cost sourcing going on there.
I here Somalia is nice this time of year.
Time to find some more low cost sourcing company’s India and China are letting me down.
I wonder if mariupol or Severodonetsk have any good factory’s ?
Who is going to turn the lights out in this facility ? The managements lights have been out for months ......
I cannee wait to get my last payslip, I will be buying a big fishy on a big dishy when that boat come in.
Managers are questionable labourers.
How about the managers get down and do real hands on.
After all management’ know so much to offer. Let alone their experience
Quality ha ha only reason this place is closing is nothing more than bad management people put in positions they should never be in under qualified shop floor to pull them out the sh--e again shameful good luck place is a rats nest and has been for years
Quality is in the toilet from low cost sourcing. Everyone in the department are mo--ns. What is going to happen when quality leave? You will be left with a quality manager, who has no qualifications since primary school and a hairline that’s in worse shape than parts coming in.
All he has ever done is bully people and make people redundant. Nobody left now and you’re in the firing line! Has panic set in yet? I very much doubt it, hasn’t got the mental capacity to comprehend the magnitude of sh-t he is in for.
See you walking out of elddis again soon.
What a bunch of failures 🤣🤣
Management will be looking for the goodwill of those left to bail them out
Contractually we have no obligation to do so.
