Old workforce needed

[magicman07]

Hi people i'm looking at building 3 cars in the Fylde area within the next month but am looking for staff subject to everything going to plan i'll be looking for around 15 people with skills across the board. I'll be honest and the reason for coming to Blackpool is because of the workforce as you've built amazing cars for a long time if anyone is interested especially design team, sprayers car builders etc look forward to your replies and all will be handled descretely many thanks

Design side sounds interesting, will look out for more posts once it's off the ground hope all goes well!

[hollowpockets]

good luck, glad to see someone taking a risk, theres deffinatly a market for it now.

take your time and do it right, unlikely NS will be churning out 5000 tvrs a year anytime soon

Hi magicman, I have worked for tvr for 10yrs, main job was sewing machinest, also had been doing some trimming before we was laid-off & redundant. Helped out alot in the cutting room to, I have been looking around for similar employment but there`s not much on offer round here, you would make my a very happy lady in deed if there any vacancies available for me, cheers, val

[tamillie19]

hi magicman iworked at tvr for 10 years sewing and helping to cut out. also debbie brookes worked there for 12 years sewing cutting out making patterns and doing all the service work so we would be very interested. making your dreams come true. and we r both very reilable.

Without wishing to sound insensitive to the workers, afterall one of my best mates is one of the affected parties, but personally it might be wise to email the original poster, rather than submit brief job applications on here.

The only thing that I can see happening by making your availability known on this forum is to kick-off a bloody great bun fight. 200 workers into 5 - 15 jobs is a squeeze, and probably not something that wants airing on here. I'd hate to be witness to people who have worked alongside each other for years jostling for attention, and it might make the process somewhat more fraught than necessary for those people involved directly.

Just my personal opinion, of course.

With the best will in the world, how do these applicants know that it is not a wind-up ?

To Venom and tuscantwo i can appreciate your comments and i have asked for people to e-mail me with details if anyone is interested and the reason for the request for ex staff is because i tried other channels via the TGWU and after being told i'd get numerous phone calls i finally got one to be told that they would keep in touch let me know if there was staff available but it was a well known fact there were staff but they did nothing to help they just buried there head in the sand believing someone was going to wave a magic wand hence me going down this route i take your comments about 200 people scrambling for maybe 15 positions but what do i do not let people know in case it offends someone? I do value your comments but as someone else commented nothing ventured nothing gained if either of you want to know more please e-mail me and i will answer your questions or doubts best i can thanks for your reply

In my opinion, if there is a chance that the former TVR workforce can gain similar employment and possibley help magicman introduce a new high powered, low weight & desireable sports car into the British market, then its all good.

The former TVR staff posting on here, even if its just to let magicman know that he has mail, will serve as a subtle bump to the thread so it will possibley gain the attention of other members of the workforce as we all know Teds site has a hell of a lot of posts in one day

Good luck Magicman and good luck to the workers

If the project does deliver, I don't think the queue will be a short one. All the best with it magicman!
