Manufacturing being lost to foreign buyers

We have now seen one of our most historic manufactures being sold to a foreign buyer.
Should we worry or is this just another casualty of globalisation.
Cadburys could no longer resist the multi billion pound offer from Kraft. Like Kraft Slices we watch as slice by slice our valued UK companies disappear from our market place.
For short term gain we loose valuable jobs, skills and know how.
It is a known fact that take-overs are rarely beneficial to anyone and often great companies are eventually ruined.
There is also the human cost to these actions. Besides the obvious loss of jobs, local business suffer, communities are strained and places can lose their identity.

Cadbury was built on the concept of caring for the community. They built homes for their workers and had a great sense of social responsibility.
Companies are all about people, those who work on the production line to those who run the company and are in the position of power. Each have their responsibilities. The line worker should be conscientious give a good days work with enthusiasm. The people who run the company should strive to make it profitable, be caring and responsible to their workers, customers and community.
Profit is not everything.

BBC says,manufacturing is returning to UK

The BBC morning news are doing a small piece about manufacturing in the UK. Today they talked about companies who are bringing their manufacturing back to the UK.
Some reasons included, security of their IPR, better control and lower cost.
Digby Jones said that manufacturing is 12 percent of our GDP which is more than financial services. What we don't consider is the other benefits including, jobs for all levels of talent, giving young people a chance to work and more money to support our social services.
Well done BBC, lets have more support for UK manufacturing.
