After working as a panel Beater at Aston Martin for 18 years come September, I was made redundant yesterday.
I seriously doubt it! |

A rather good seperation package and a months 'garage' leave is at least some compensation.

I guess it was inevitable that making cars by hand was going to end, mores the pity.

bad news, mate. Good luck finding work soon, you have some great skill there, but I guess there is not many people who can afford to pay you. Will you go back into making the sprints? On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

Well, you can hold your head high and say you had a place in the last, small batch of panel beaters working at Aston. That is a testament to how well you were clearly thought of. Times change / things progress - at least you don't seem overly bitter about it...

Ive got a few opportunities to consider and quite a nest egg to tide me over at the moment. Self employed isnt a no no so theres a possibility of Wiginton Sprint rising from the ashes again but the motor trade is dead in general.
I seriously doubt it! |
