Save Our Site - Battle for Barnoldswick (Rolls-Royce)

Barnoldswick is the historic birthplace of the Jet Engine, many of the Rolls-Royce model numbers start with RB (Rolls Barnoldswick) the skills and experience of the workers are priceless.
Over the last 2 years the workforce has been reduced by almost 50% and the latest announcement of further job losses could see the site close, with more than 1,000 families on site and in the local supply chain abandoned. Rolls-Royce contributes £1.1bn to GDP in the region *2018 and the North West Aerospace sector it supports has a GVA £1.7bn.
Governments from Germany to Singapore are investing in Aerospace to make sure they thrive in the aviation recovery, the UK Government cannot afford to be asleep at the wheel resulting in this historic wealth creator being lost, they must act now!

    My dad shared this with me. He worked at Barnoldswick, and, though he moved to Derby as part of the 1971 shake up, he retained a loyalty to, and affection for, the site. I'm horrified that this plant could close, ripping the heart out of the town. Rolls Royce has been the catalyst for technology in this part of Lancashire, and there are a number of local small engineering businesses which have benefited from the high level of skills and innovation in the area. Closing Barnoldswick would be such a short-sighted approach.

    Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket. Bitcoin will always be around because of the coin exchanges and it's own blockchain. Given.. I saw a recommendation about Mr Nicholas, I found so many people showing accolades to a man named Mr Nicholas who has made a great impact to so many young crypto investors since last year. Some said he has the best strategy to trade bitcoin, I was tired of Gdax and Binance small profits I was getting, so I reached out to him and he gave me the best tips to excel in the world of crypto. Now I don't just Hodlin, I make more gains, after three weeks I boast of increasing my bitcoin from 2BTC to 7.04BTC, all Thanks to Mr Nicholas Myron Almighty formula for trading, you all can reach out to him . @nicholas__fxtrade on Instagram...

    The rich get Richer because the poor thinks every opportunity is a scam. i took bitcoin investment as my part time job, investing with a legit platform and i 'm earning smoothly without any stress. i got paid of $21,500 after a week of investing, I really appreciate it and can't help but let others know about it because it is so suitable anyone can trade from anywhere and anytime Mr Nicholas is recommended on Instagram {@nicholas__fxtrade). for more information. He is genius......

    Legend has it my Grandad and another guy drove the first jet engine to farnborough (i think) on the back of a lorry like, the rb211, but it was war time. He came back with a box of apples as well. Sorted.

    This site has a really good heritage and wonderful expertise. I really enjoyed working there. Closing one down might look like a good move now, but once demand comes up again, we might not have the expertise we need. Really sad to see the situation. RR should reconsider the decision.

    The Singapore plant was built as risk mitigation for the Barnoldswick site. It’s crazy to then put Singapore as the single source. RR should keep the Crown Jewels of technology development in UK.

    Please watch this video to understand what can happen when a company with a name that represents British excellence callously turns its back on the workforce that created its reputation, because the board of directors now view Rolls-Royce as an international company. Perhaps it is time for the Government to consider taking back control of this flagship company. My best wishes and support to the workforce in their endeavours to preserve British jobs.

    Excellent video. Well done Unite. Proud to be a member. I have shared it on my social media. What we need in this country is a press that represents working people. Also papers that would be at every news stand that highlight how much better the country could be with when the means of production distribution and exchange are owned by the workers. Keep this up.

    The outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries, especially high quality niche products, is appalling & short sighted.

    I don't think we should see this as an issue between countries. The technology that created belongs to all human beings. Not to a few to profit off and date their greed.

    At least they can't blame the EU anymore.
