Ford to take 'long hard look' at UK future in no-deal Brexit

Ford has stepped up warnings over a no-deal Brexit, saying it would take a 'long hard look' at its UK operations in that event. As Theresa May scrambles to find a way forward following a series of 'no' votes on Brexit options in parliament, the chairman of Ford Europe told Sky's Ian King Live the company had a duty to protect itself from the prospect of becoming uncompetitive. Steven Armstrong said Ford, which employs just under 13,000 staff in the UK including workers at its Dagenham and Bridgend engine plants, had already spent tens of millions of euros preparing for no-deal.
