Great news...

Apparently it would have happened anyway, Houchen is a liar, it has absolutely nothing to do with Brexit and we could have had freeports anyway so there is nothing to see here and it probably won't happen.
 
I don't think it will be GE as Houchen said they would be moving from the EU. Those GE jobs have been talked about for at least a year as potentially coming to this country and it was more a fight as to where about they decided to set up. The Scottish government were hoping to get them to move up there and were accussing the UK government of unfairly getting involved and influencing them to pick Teesside.

Well unless Houchen is lying like people are saying he is.

DearChicago - The only recent FT article I can find which mentions the prospect of GE moving here is this one:

Which is more a passing comment that links to this old one.

I actually didn't know that.. Duly noted 👌
 
Wonder if Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Ineos, has changed his mind and is going to manufacture his cars here instead of in France? Doubt it though.
Update: Forget that. The Gazette has changed it’s headline from 18000 jobs to hundreds. Bit of a difference!

Never fails to amaze me, the useful things I have learnt on FMTTM! 👍
Thanks nerds 😉
 
Christ talk about sh ite reporting by the gazette... not much of a difference between 18 thousand and a couple of hundred.

either way any amount of jobs coming to Teesside are a welcome addition...UTB
 
Oh and the way I read it the manufacturer is of European origin which would rule out GE... not to saying the GE link is gone but that this is in addition and something new.

my money is BASF or Siemens
