Think what upsets me the most is people who don't deserve to get on did. SM, MG, AR , NK to name but a few.
Why did i not move up the ladder???
hope all the decent lads find good jobs i worked there for nearly 20yrs left a few yrs back and can honestly say it’s been spoilt by bad management
End of an era, business destroyed by incompetent management - good luck to the decent people looking for work and its going to be a interesting for the underqualified managers looking to find work out there at the level they are currently at.
How ironic, the bees and hedgehogs are safe , and the beekeeper is redundant 🤦🏻♂️
There'll be some Rse twitching tonight
When you put incompetents in important positions it never ends well. Does anyone know if theres any jobs going in the quality management/ bog cleaning field.
Spymaster was right.
Yes gateshead closing lol 😆
Something happened at Gateshead
This thread is about to get busy in 3..2..1….
Wasn’t too long ago the API Stamp had its own air miles
We’ll travelled to say the least.
Tech hand, you obviously know nothing of how the Gateshead system works, if truth be told and auditors had any hint of what’s been ‘passed’ off over the years someone would be in prison by now!!
The parts have to be scrapped, anyone told to pass them off have a option along with conscience and its not hr. Anyone can report on the website, its that simple and anonymous. Name people if you are being forced to pass off something out of specification that has the potential to create dangerous in field issues. Acorn is Disaster waiting to happen as we are witnessing. Quality gone to bits, something happens to a nov tech in the field servicing valves made out of specification and wrong material how would you sleep? Unbelievable.
Goods in have never been real inspectors they've been told to pass all acorn parts off wether they're in spec or not. We used to have a reputation for products being late but of decent quality, but thanks to the Osborne failure, we have a reputation for being late and cr-p.
Goods in won’t throw them in the bin though will they , they will just let them go as usual
How's all the Indian subcon doing?
Really good! Goods in passed a 110 them off, they required 2 days rework, then ended up in final inspection to be scrapped off. Second shipment on route.
Keep Calm and Make Them Again or maybe make twice as much? so goods in can throw them in the the bin when they arrive.
WOW I've just saved the company 3 days works, Not bad for an OPERATOR EH?
How's all the Indian subcon doing? Is it cost effective to have our shop floor fix everything they make? Like the manager said, it doesn't matter if its out of spec as long as its cheap, and don't let the real inspectors check it.
We are doing well, the welders, paintshop and assembly fitters have loads of work.
Bruce. You follow me. Your no barman. I’m not honoured

Sad man(ager)
Are posts with the word ‘sausage’ and ’fetch’ banned now ??
this spymaster kid has been saying its shutting every quarter since last year, surely he will get it correct one day eh
but my god has that jock upset him
Maybe that union tr-------l should walk into HR office on his feet instead of on his red raw knees, and actually do something for the workforce other than keeping his non existant job
Ehhhh happy days de la rues howay the lads.
Nothing will be announced until 3rd Quarter results have been published.
Going to be a blood bath in the offices
Closure or severe reduction in staff by moving as much as possible to other sites. Keeping core high value items under our control by Re locating to smaller premises.
Mr Scotland to head up project / innovation quotes with engineering etc. Eng will suffer this time.
The Dalesman and his team will be relocate to smaller premises for assembly etc
This is REAL what is about to happen
I bet there’s another cabinet reshuffle and some MORE coordinators appointed!!!
Who’s next ?
Been fishing around Companies House. Along with some other research.
Looks like our site is offshored for tax purposes along with a number of other sites
This strikes true that nobody within the facility has Sales in their title. If they do they report to Aberdeen.
UK Tax dodgers. Caveat, I stand to be corrected on this.
Shipping costs spiralling upwards
Gas and electricity spiralling upwind
Wages at an all time high
Material costs spiralling upwards
Not enough transportation / logistics
Little or no sales
Backlog at ports of entry and exit to and from UK
There is no way the site can be running at a profit.
Simple economics.
Just ask management and engineering if they found new premises yet 😉
Well it looks like the next wave is coming - wonder who gets it in this batch
I see HR is on dilation leave again, how come everyone else is encouraged to spead their dilation leave throughout the year?
How's Gateshead Doing?
I wouldn't know I only work there.
Guy you are talking about loves a little white lie, told me he nearly got in The Gladiators……..was gonna be The Exaggerator
Whats that turner called thats leaving every week on his massive 9 series bus?
Get yourself in there, you might have a chance.
Most of NOV staff are too busy to be clowning around.
I think you've come to the wrong site.
Try, sellmyhoop.com
I hear they pay well.
Good luck 👍 let us know how it goes.
Happy days !
I hear Ireland has a shortage of clowns
Just saying
stay strong and the light will shine at the end of the tunnel
Good point! Where is Gatesheads investment?
Our ONLY manufacturing engineer spends all his time in Assembly and outsourcing?
We have no work in assembly.
I think there is more indirect time spent in assembly than any other part of the factory.
But that's where the investment went
What are you waiting for? slow boat from China?
