Sad news. Never had a Westfield but they are not a million miles away from me, hopefully they can be saved. I would have thought a lighter scale which also services spares for all the older cars has to be viable. I used Machine 7 a lot over the years, what a shame. A.

Good they have come alive again, bad because of the job losses of a very loyal workforce local to me.

And bad because they owe a lot of small suppliers money… that’s what’s wrong with limited company law.

Oh and what about the government grants that you and I paid them…

The least they could do is replace the ministerial limos with a fleet of Chesil Speedsters...
