adzyvilla Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm very glad they have to be honest. I work in F1 and the extra time to get parts made is a boon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 What and who do you work for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzyvilla Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Subcontractor manufacturer, various teams (more than 1 at present)*. I'm a composites laminator, and the sector is absolutely booming at the moment. Most companies are turning away contracts simply because there aren't enough experienced staff to do the work, although my company is constantly taking on new starters and training them up, it takes 3-5 years to be considered competent. We have had the added problem of some substandard design meaning quite a few projects have been put on hiatus while problems are sorted out and work is piling up and then all coming back on stream at the same time. It's a case of just because it's theoretically possible, it doesn't mean it's practical. *I'd rather not name names, as it's a smallish community and anyone in the know might be able to work out the name of my employer, and mine as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
