When I read this venerable company with a proud history is now owned by Russian and Dubai companies and no trace of British owners, what is happening is horrible but hardly surprising. Just terribly sad.
We've been selling the silverware in the UK for a long time. Where is the long term strategic planning? Long 'just in time' supply chains. Foreign ownership of multiple vital assets. Self- immolation to achieve net zero carbon targets. Unprecedented money printing. What could possibly go wrong?
