Guys, while I am very pleased that your jobs appear to have been saved, please spare a thought for the 52 of us at Turbine Motor Works who were made redundant on Tuesday 24th January. This included 17 apprentices, some of whom had worked extremely hard for the qualifications they had achieved, and are now in a position where they are very unlikely to be able to finish their apprenticeships.

DAS was a 50% partner with TMW, and we did all their engine overhaul work, including 'hospital visits'.

When DAS went down, they owed TMW a lot of money, which we are never going to see now, hence the redundancies.

Take care, and good luck, and I wish you well for the future.
