When I worked there when it was Thompson Plastics there was two large factories. The factory I worked in was for caravan parts and the other was car parts. That was twenty years ago and probably changed now.Not sure how big a place it is but a lot of people are now without a job
Didn't they make the shower trays for Swift caravans ? The CEO of Advanced Plastics on Sutton Ind. Estate must be on the phone as I type this. Opportunity knocks.The boss is being praised for his swift action to get everyone out of the building, the fire service just confirmed everyone is accounted for.

I got made redundant Chazz and we had three interviews to change their minds and save your job. I'd had two before going to see family in the States i'd booked the year before. My last interview was the following Monday on my return. I knew it was pointless, once you'd been picked you was gone.I know someone who worked there then
Didn’t you all get ripped off with your pensions.?
Right near xmas and a load of people are without a job and with mortgages to pay and presents to buy.
It’s very sad
Never mind, there's always the Black Swan at Oldstead, just down the road. What is it about N. Yorkshire and Michelin-starred chefs?Such a shame I’ve eaten & stayed there many times

Reminds me of trying to book one of those posh places in Padstow last year. Phone system said I was no.90-odd in the queue! We went somewhere else.I’ve never been there, tried to book once & it had a 9 month waiting list!!!
I used to supply them, does the name Trevor Acaster ring any bells?When I worked there when it was Thompson Plastics there was two large factories. The factory I worked in was for caravan parts and the other was car parts. That was twenty years ago and probably changed now.
Yea slightly mate, was it the caravan part you supplied?I used to supply them, does the name Trevor Acaster ring any bells?
It was when they were on Tower Road, I think it’s called that, opposite old Hedon Road, but Trevor probably moved to Hessle as he was one of their managers, and all round nice fella.Yea slightly mate, was it the caravan part you supplied?
h ok, he’s probably retired now anyway.The only place on Hedon Rd i've worked is Armstrong's behind Oriental pub, I only ever worked for Thompson's at the Hessle factory.
