Member Info for Tiredhands

Yorkie 123, thanks for that info, appreciated - I'm not on linkedin myself otherwise I'd have checked.

I recall an RNS stating that Richard Davidson was heading up H&W Technologies. Is he still there?

Thanks Si D.

Speaking of minehunters, M55 should be close to sea trials and completion, if everything is going according to plan.

Engineerinvests: Digital Twins, Virtual Environments, Design Software etc...perhaps the Chief Engineer, Forbes Morgan, (recently recruited from Bab***k) might be best placed to answer your question, which is a very good one BTW.

Apologies Si D. If my memory serves, M55 is due for delivery June/July this year.

Dredging in preparation for M55 departure perhaps?

Alan Smith still showing as Belfast GM on H&W website - perhaps an update needed?

Does that mean Alan Smith is leaving?

Recall seeing a recent Twitter post from GMB union saying H&W Belfast may also be balloting for industrial action over pay.

Although having a foreign parent doesn't seem to be barrier for Thales UK when it comes to securing UK MOD work.

BT, that's what I thought. Friend of a friend tells me there were a handful of long termer (30 years plus) technical and production staff TUPEd over in 2019 but some of those guys have recently retired or moved on.

This thread got me wondering how many of the current workforce actually worked on Anvil Point or Hartland Point?

Check Kevan Jones' register of interests and join the dots. It's not what you know...

Evidently T26 not entirely built by BAE...

Re the ad for the Engineering Director, this not Forbes Morgan's role?

Broomtree 17:39 - Thanks.

Broomtree, as you have some contacts on the ground in Belfast, have they given you a sense of the overall feeling amongst the workforce on how they see things?

The threat of potential industrial is a concern and contrasts with the company messaging.

Didn't know Iron Maiden's bassist had a new career! 😂

T'was ever thus.
