How PSA could make Opel profitable again

At the moment the pound is weak but I think it will rise a bit in a few years, the problems of manufacturing here in uk will be made worse by brexit not better. Uk manufacturing was actually starting to recover very nicely before the vote to leave , the problem in the near to medium term will be recruiting the skilled staff now that we are leaving the eu. We simply haven't trained enough people and are heavily reliant on immigration to fill the gaps at the moment that is very easy as we effectively have access to the skilled staff from the other 27 countries. Once we leave it will be harder to recruit and anyone who has had dealings with bringing staff in from outside the Eu will tell you how frustrating and time consuming it is, that will put employers off investing here. The fact that the majority of the components in the uk made Vauxhall are imported from the rest of the eu and that these factories are actually more assembly rather than manufacturing are not good omens. The other major negative about this is the fact that even with a free trade deal there will be customs to navigate with all the additional paperwork and delays, this disrupts the supply chain and adds costs. All this adds up to it looking grim for Vauxhall staff in the uk and that's before we get to the political aspect of it all with the French gov owning shares and being more aligned with Germany than us now due to brexit.
