FPV sackings in restructure

[Troutman]

Apologies if it's a repost.



Ford Performance Vehicles is in crisis after sacking general manager Rod Barrett and up to 15 other members of its Campbellfield workforce, throwing into doubt the future of Ford’s tuner of performance cars.

It’s the second time in six years the company has sacked top-level management. Former boss Sak Ryopponen and five senior managers - including this reporter, who was communications manager - were shown the door in 2006.

Prodrive managing director Bryan Mears will take over Mr Barrett’s role, while other back office functions will be “absorbed internally”.

You wouldn't be too confident taking a job offer there.

It's interesting that Bryan Mears appeared in this month's Motor magazine as Managing Director of FPV, and he talks about how much he wants a GTHO.

People don't get sacked for no reason. including that reporter the first time around.
