Is there any plans of shut downs in place in the UK? Big companies and manufacturing places are going to short their employees but how far the Honeywell can go? Companies are making a big step move to Europe to cut taxes and travel expenses. Is anyone knows something ? What areas? TIA

Is the Bracknell office now closed?
honeywell chases government money which is currently flowing to create new arms manufacturing in places like poland. if there is no incentive to keep a business then there is no business. has nothing to do with travel. government investment and cheap labour.
do you think honeywell competes in the market based on being the best or cheapest product?
