Another slams shut right in your face! 
I don't know if any of you have heard, although its been all over the news, but Caparo, manufacturers of the shitty T1, have gone into administration... I work for them as an agency worker and now I'm out of work
I worked with them as a quality control engineer for 17 weeks, there were talks of taking me on but now i dunno where i stand, other than in line on the rock and roll
The steel industry side of Caparo are really in the schtuck but i work(ed) for the manufacturing of products for companies like JCBamford and Caterpillar at Willenhall Site Caparo. I'm hoping there is still hope for myself and the other guys whom have lost their jobs there.
The Willenhall Site comprises of 4 companies owned by Caparo, 3 of which are in profit. I can't see the one company coming out of this well, more than likely it will be liquidated and flogged in bits, but the others I still hold hope for.
Im trying to keep it together but this year has been the hardest for me yet
I have a newborn child, my Dad has an aggressive terminal brain tumour, I have to move out of the family home to sell it to help my dad pay his mortgage so homeless practically, sister is ill in hospital, I'm now out of work, have depts and bills to pay and things can't get any worse
On the upside, things are probably looking up as i am already at rock bottom the optimist in me is saying 'it can't get any worse' the pessimist is saying 'whats to go wrong next'...pfff
I just wanted to know if there is anyone else who has been affected, by either this or SSI Redcar, on here. If there are, my thoughts are with you all, this is going to be a tough time for all of the 1,700+ employees of Caparo and the ~1,000 (unsure of the amount) temp/agency workers and the 1,000's at Redcar plant who are out of work right now.
I thought the Chinese were our friends, but bidness is bidness i guess, undercutting the UK steel industry flooding the market with cheap steel, now look at 'Great' Britain
