Will Barloworld still wish to trade in the UK, or will they shrink back to mainland Europe and South Africa? The same applies to Briggs and America. Impact should have accepted the offer from Toyota, they only have their own egos to blame. I think these three firms are the ones in pole position to disappear from the UK market, But which one first?
