You misread me, the brands that are not British are not exempt from Brexit fallout with that being regardless of whether they sell anything in the UK, regardless of whether they have components coming from the UK and regardless of whether they have assembly plants in the UK.
You read into that something else.
Regarding Ellesmere Port, there is no plan for it after the current Astra model goes. This was decided a long time ago but the deal is to keep it open until 2020 and the new owners have not renegaded on the deal.

It is an old plant and it is as good as gone. There is no point trying to argue otherwise unless you work there.
- benj111 8y agoYou're right I did mis read you. I took you to mean there were no German companies with manufacturing in Britain. And none with any customers. Re Ellesmere port. We will have to see. Brexit is a massive unknown. But hopefully wont be by 2020 (ha). But 2020 will probably be an election year so I'm not sure that the Torys will want the factory closing 'due to Brexit', so I'm sure some big juicy 'grants' will be offered.
