You should not be surprised this is the UK lift truck industry, I honestly dont think it matters what brand you work for. Not having worked for Toyota, it does surprise me as this does fly in the face of the public persona! Maybe I am as gullible as ther are uncaring. Hope you get employment elsewhere soon.

There is to be one demo engineer, one parts man and about 6 office staff to remain in the whole building, rumour has it that the building has already been sold, word is that by January 2011 the remaining staff will be made redundant, though you try getting Toyota's directors to admit that.

If you read Onlymeee's post it is staying open, with one engineer who will do some PDI's etc.
