Ineos also closes plants in UK actually, Grangemouth, incl. job layoffs...

Failure is not an option. Ineos is not a charity, though the 100 million they put up to fund the Institute of Antimicrobial Research is a worthwhile gamble.

Failure, big word and harsh judgement...but if that appplies it raises the question, where the failures are made...but that is another topic....and when I look at all failures of the Grenadier it seems to be an option...

AWo you work for JLR right? As an actual owner, I feel I have to put this into perspective. My Grenadier has some failures - Yes. But it is better than my G Wagon which has more quirks after 40 Years of building it. Not to speak of Landrovers.

 

[AWo]

No, I do not work for JLR, I work for Ineos.

Why so much negativism?

@bigleonski thanks for posting the article.

I think that this move along with the closing of Grangemouth indicates that Ineos has a business sense….if it’s not profitable then time to shut it down.

How much of a passion project is the Grenadier for Jimmy? Would owners/investors be willing to buyout the division? I think it’s an interesting study.

The sponsorship of the rugby team was not from the automotive entity of Ineos, it was negotiated in 2020/21.

Yep, the automotive side sponsor a few influencers and some bits and bobs here and there but nothing of particular substance from what I’ve seen and been told.

Please correct me if I’m wrong here.
