Dancer. Gateshead has failed to deliver customer orders since NOV took over. Please elaborate ?
I think someone upstairs has been given authority to post and put a positive spin on things. No wonder the board lights up.
Yr not an office gimp are you.
Who’s been found out ?
A lot of the rhetoric on here seems to come from one really bitter person who wants the place to fail due to the fact he is no longer taking the piss and not part of it anymore.
You were found out, get over it pal
Too funny, can I have some of ee are
Smokin’
All this negativity on Gateshead can’t see why the business is lookin good unless someone knows different if so feel free to post
Hey hya Mr Positive
Missed you, glad ur back again will you please post yr monthly figures for month end again. And for comedy value yr six monthly figures against target. No need to advertise OTD or OTIF as that world be embarrassing.
Keep the Gateshead Propaganda machine going.
Post again and I will give you lesson number two. All about sacrificial management.
The last comment says plenty of work at Gateshead .So why did they pay ff and put people on furlough.Even you can’t be that stupid to believe that give your head a good wobble
Plenty of work at Gateshead no need to panic future looking good
It’s hard to run a factory! It’s easier to move the product to different facility and let them deal with it
Yup a very fitting end to 11 years of customer disappointment
Shut her down boys, she’s had her day
Thank the Lord .
Hahaha
Yr royally going down. A failing plant that has not delivered in 10yrs since being bought out.
RIP Gateshead. The Anson brand will live but not made in the UK. Dumb iron, unions etc. The market is upon price. You can’t compete.
Had your chance the last downturn to evaluate supply chain, structure, production product line, diversification etc. 5 yrs later.....
No change. Bye bye
The poster of the Gateshead month figures is clearly transparent or guided to post. That said the figures posted GBG (GB Pounds Stirring) not USD. There is a lot of ground to be made to be in profit for the site.
£4M, it’s stock,, 100% inter company. Nobody is buying for production or exploration.
It’s dilution, and will haunt in months to come as it’s capital what do NOV dislike. Capital. The irony is beyond belief.
Lol very amusing “Gateshead is making money $4M orders in etc etc” well it will be a first for 5 years, when it became part of PPS was the last time it made any actual non intercompany profit. Correct me if I am
Wrong but NOV as a whole also hasn’t made any real “put it in the bank” money for about 5 years as well mmmm well shucks when was the segments formed ... oh about 5 or 6 years ago mmmm that’s a coincidence
Way hay. Thought you would never appear again with yr monthly update. Hat off to you young chap.
You are Mr Positive
That said, terrible news for the customer. Over promise and under deliver. It’s ok not for builds or customers. Cos there ain’t any. Stock no doubt so deliver when the you want.
I just get too keep my parking space for a bit longer. Happy Days.
Gateshead is making money 4 million in orders for this month .going on 3 shifts
Hey mate that’s spot on.... I too am an employee and people like mallet keep calling our ex employees..... mate smell the coffee it’s employees that have had enough #mallet knuckle head.
Mallet. You probably won’t need a cushion to kneel on since it’s routine the s—ing service you offer.
I guess that’s a cost saving on your part.
Maybe, the people posting are employed by NOV and vent their frustration on boards like these. Maybe you should take that into account before commenting.
I too are holding out for the pay day of redundancy that is coming
The last oil recession we were saved purely due to a sharp intake of orders and demand for oil
This is different, and this is your daily lesson Mallet. Demand has dropped and will continue to do so. People’s routines have changed and will continue to do so. Movement with cars, trains etc will continue to decline. People are now used to shopping and working from home. Hence in simple terms (just for you) demand will fall
Oil companies have lived off the fat for too long and don’t know how to diversify into say renewable energy. Nor know how to operate a business cos they have always done the same thing. These put together is why NOV will fail.
Oil is on the decline. Full Stop.
There endeth your lesson.
I am not an ex-employee but I can’t wait for this saga to end, I totally agree with veni vedi vici just get it over with. Gateshead isn’t making any money so why prolong what is already decided, give me my redundancy and let call it a day.
Lots of jealous ex employees on here , move on people.
We’re still here four years after you all said the same , just concentrate on the place you work and stop being so bitter
Love the one with the cup of tea .but my god so true .just sums gateshead up. Falsifying test graphs and heat treatment graphs. I'm surprised there product gas never failed on site .the whole place is corrupt to the core
Honestly guys how can you think you won’t be closed, your delivery reputation is in the garbage, your product is a commodity, lots of other more reliable cheaper suppliers. To top it all you have been merged with wireline who only sell your 1502 and 2202 low torque valves.
Stop squealing like a stuck pig and die already
Will be amazed if you making anything by the end of the year.
If you made a cup of tea it would be 2 months late, cold and the milk would be off.
Must be hard living with a reputation and reality you can’t carry out the most basic of functions.
I guess change is something you don’t do. Irony.
Oh yes yous are closing
Seems to be a few managers posting here. Oh wait. That’s ur passive everything is ok till we royally shaft you mantra
Won’t be closing. Pick a planet and go and live on it.
We arnt closing full stop.
Let's hope your right about it closing
Will your Key Account Manager keep us posted on your order intake this month, and how we are doing on a the half year target.
Us on the floor are not privy to info. Give us some basic info. It’s not a difficult ask. Basic KPI’s can’t even get that right.
Yes I just got your email C* I agree it’s gonna go that way with old bone face in charge.
It’s coming to greengate
I think he means end of second quarter,
H1 - Half 1 ??
Otherwise the rumor sounds goddam accurate to me, I overheard our VP talking about a plan to merge the business into another unit as he was making a coffee with the HR director. It’s amazing what’s discussed making coffee or taking a rest break
Lol
What’s H1 ?
Plans are in place to finally put the old dog to sleep. Announcement to be made just after H1 is closed.
To quote President Captain “ I have too many large unprofitable manufacturing sites in England (I think he meant UK)
So is NK your Gateshead director ?
I’m referring to an in house Gateshead Director and his two direct reports. You refer to the manufacturing Director for the Eastern Hemisphere who is positioned in Aberdeen.
Gateshead is ran on a crisis management level and who is the most senior that has sent an email. Nothing to do with customer support, satisfaction or anything the Anson 3 say we need to do.
It’s all about how high up it comes from dictates priorities which k–ls customer service. Irony eh.
I’ve listened in on the 830 meetings. Comedy
Tremendous....... be lucky if a dozen tradesmen here at gateshead haha haha.
@9brn+15aI2yFw Hmmm passive aggressive management style, putting a positive spin on anything, people sending anything out for statistics, cylo micromanagement ? Sounds very similar to the plant I work in Aberdeen, do we share a director ? Is the director you refer to based in Aberdeen ?
The secrecy is management based, on a passive aggressive style. Putting fear into employees that they will be sought out for posting on this site. Remember this is an anonymous site. Only posts that name people specially are removed.
Mr I’m protected Sales Mgr will be driving a positive spin on anything. Despatch /certs will be celebrating they have managed the simplest of of tasks they are employed to do. Probably because they sent an empty box somewhere on time. Intentionally of course cos nothing is their fault.
The whole place is rife of incompetence/cylo micro management it’s a wonder anything’s on time.
As someone posted on another thread “the largest Inefficiency in any business is management”. This true to the core as far as corporate management and NOV are concerned.
The management from Anson days have and will continue to fail the business, customers and employees
Once these three managers under the control of a certain Director (Director included) are removed only then Gateshead can move forward
Must be so hard working within this environment having to micro manage everything. Don’t worry viagra will keep you hard to weather the storm. I keep it to stop the bed sheets from chaffing my sunburn after a long afternoon in the sun.
F— your plant I did not miss it.
What is going on at that place seems to be a lot of secrecy must be plenty of work though let’s hope things can turn around sit tight guys
Isn’t the director of manufacturing in Aberdeen ?
