As a manager at WBAC till very recently it was clear that the current business model was unsustainable and likely unprofitable. Staff working conditions were abhorrent; the business ethics dramatically short-sighted and, hence, with the benefit of hindsight it has transpired the staff were the sacrificial lambs led to the slaughter in the name of gross personal greed ** edited for legal reasons **

  @That Man - Seen this before, even though the due dilagence will take place, BCA will be taken for a ride. Most clear thinking motor trade people can see things don't stack up.

We as WBAC staff got told today that the terms of the deal were now finalised and that they are now just waiting on clearance from the monopolies commission. The US branches have not been sold and remain under the control of the McKee brothers, now just WBAC UK shareholders.
