Article in The Times as to a new revival exercise
Car chiefs in secret bid to revive output at Longbridge
By Christine Buckley, Industrial Editor
A FORMER Ford boss and an ex-General Motors executive are leading a secret bid to revive manufacturing at MG Rover’s Longbridge plant in new talks with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, The Times has learnt.
Martin Leach, the former head of Ford European operations, and Ed Sabisky, a former finance director of Vauxhall, were in Shanghai last night in advanced talks with MG Rover’s former partner. They are being backed by the T&G union. Tony Woodley, the union’s general secretary, went to SAIC’s headquarters last month to discuss the new plan.
The proposal involves establishing Longbridge as a base for research and engineering and, later, as a production centre for the new models that will be developed. SAIC confirmed that the talks are taking place but would not comment on them. However a source said that Mr Leach, also a former head of Maserati, and Mr Sabisky were being taken “extremely seriously”.
