No raise, increased workload, distractions such as “Waters Unwritten”
What’s going on here? The hypocrisy and the blindness displayed by upper management is astounding!

Made in Britain
The transfer of all instrument production to wilmslow England will cement waters presence in the manchester area for years to come.thankfully this will put an end to layoffs here.
