LONDON - BMW’s Mini plant in Britain closes for four weeks from Monday and Peugeot’s Vauxhall car factory shuts for two weeks in moves planned months ago to help the firms deal with any disruption resulting from Brexit, which has since been delayed.
Peugeot parent company PSA, which builds Astra models branded as Vauxhall in Britain and Opel on the continent at its Ellesmere Port factory, has brought forward its shutdown in a decision made at the end of last year, a spokesman said. “This is what our company and our workforce have planned for over many months and it is fixed into our business planning,” said a BMW spokesman.
BMW’s Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood will close for two weeks whilst Jaguar Land Rover’s three car plants and engine facility and Honda’s Swindon facility will also shut for a few days this month as part of Brexit contingencies. BMW, which is also closing its central English Hams Hall engine facility and Swindon press shop and sub-assembly site for four weeks, has said it could move some engine and Mini output out of Britain if there is not an orderly Brexit.
