>
>The new factory was expected to create around 500 jobs in the area, which has recently been hit by the closure of a Ford plant that employed 1,700 people. The Grenadier is based on the original Land Rover, an iconic British car.
>
>However, Ratcliffe, who Bloomberg last year estimated to be worth around £17.5 billion, this week said that he had changed his mind and opted to build the 4×4 vehicle at a former Mercedes-Benz factory in Moselle, eastern France.
>
>”Hambach [the factory] presented us with a unique opportunity that we simply could not ignore: to buy a modern automotive manufacturing facility with a world-class workforce,” Ratcliffe said in a statement.”
Guess the workforce in Wales that was left behind by FORD isn’t world-class then…
Just days after Ratcliffe submitted a bid for Manchester United.
