Fords Southampton Van plant to close

[Southern_Chap]

@BigPaul, production is already happening in Turkey and the rest of the work the Southampton plant did, will be shipped there.

Ever since Ford built the factory in Turkey, the plants days were numbered.

@NR It will hurt the town, but numbers were down to 500, when my old man worked there, there was around 2000 employees.

As with any business it's profit driven, if you can make the same prduct at half the price, it would be bad business to stay. Nostalgic businesses don't last. You all know this anyways.
