Of course Barrow is not the easiest place in the UK to get more staff of any sort - its a b8gger of a place to commute to
Has it occurred to you that a twenty to thirty year production run is a very bad thing? From a design team sustenance and supply chain obsolescence perspective?

As for Barrow - you don't commute there. You enjoy the lake district and the associated property values.
