Hi all
I read an article yesterday about a massive
Audi centre which will have a grand opening next week.
As everyone knows the economy, although really tough on every sector, really hit the automotive industry hard. A couple of my friends and family members lost their jobs as car sales people or had to resign because they weren’t making any commission due to no sales. Luckily the scrappage scheme lifted this burden to some extend.
I wasn’t even aware that an Audi centre, the biggest Audi centre in the world (I might add) was being built.
The launch is this coming Monday and will feature many celebrities like Gordon Ramsay etc.
I am glad they didn’t give up on the project as I am sure the centre creates much needed hope. And I truly hope that new
London jobs will get created from the endeavour.
Do you think the centre is a waste of money or that it will put the glamour back into the car industry in London?
Where in London is this being built then? I have not heard a thing about it???
Your right about thier timing though - at a time like this they must be quite affluent to go ahead and do this! Its quite a surprise that something is doing well in the motor industry - like you I have friends that lost thier jobs due to all the cut backs etc....
I suppose its good in the sense that these people will then be able to apply for the jobs at Audi and have the relevant experience etc....?
