The leader of the Isle of Wight council this afternoon suggested that skilled workers who are set to lose their jobs at BAE Systems and Gurit should apply for jobs at the new call centre.
Bob Seely met with Gurit this week to understand their decision to axe 70 jobs on the Isle of Wight. He discovered it's the technical hub for Gurit worldwide with the company saying it's confident of its future here.
Those working in automotive factory production at Newport-based engineering company, Gurit, are likely to have an uncertain Christmas after the company announced 'severe commercial problems' and issued a profit warning for the group.
