To je tipicna posledica #Brexita.

British steel je proizvajal jeklo, ki je bilo v glavnem uporabno v evropi, ne toliko v UK sami. Grejt sakses, brexiterji.

"Britanski jeklar je v lasti investicijskega podjetja Greybull Capital, letno je proizvedel za več kot dve toni jekla" Celi dve toni, jim je pa res padla produktivnost:)

Akcija Bruslja in EU ki je VB vlado naredila za impotentno.

Take zgodbe in akterji človeku res vlivajo trdno vero v božjo previdnot in nezmotljivost nevidne roke globaliziranega trga ter produktivnost privatne lastnine.

What has gone wrong at British Steel?
When Greybull Capital bought British Steel in 2016 it promised great things. The private equity firm pledged to invest £400m and within months it was boasting of a return to profit and a bright future ahead. Two years later it appears to be on the brink of collapse unless it receives a government-funded bailout. In a letter to staff last week, the British Steel chief executive blamed weak market demand, high raw material prices, the weakness of sterling and uncertainty over the outcome of Brexit discussions.
How much is Brexit to blame?
It is not the only factor in the crisis but it is very important. Steel contracts are typically agreed well in advance of the product being delivered. As things stand, the UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October and the terms of that separation are yet to be agreed, meaning British Steel’s overseas customers don’t know what tariffs will apply to steel they buy from the company. Sources close to the company say orders from customers in the EU and further afield have dried up as a result.
Can the company survive in some form?
The steelworks in Scunthorpe represents the bulk of the company and it is hard to see who would be an obvious buyer for the site, given that it has struggled under successive owners. The fundamental problems affecting it show no sign of solution any time soon.
Is the whole UK steel industry in trouble?
The UK steel industry has been in decline for some time due to a variety of factors such as overcapacity in EU steelmaking and Chinese state-subsidised firms flooding the global market with cheap product. An industry that employed 323,000 people in 1971 now employs less than a tenth of that, at 31,900. The closure of the Redcar steelworks in 2015 was a significant blow to the sector and left the UK with just two blast furnace steelworks: Scunthorpe and Tata Steel-owned Port Talbot in south Wales.

The deal that has resulted in Tata offloading part of its troubled UK steel business to Greybull Capital has been credited with saving jobs, although the private equity firm’s record after taking over other struggling companies may not leave its new employees entirely reassured.
The single-page website of Greybull Capital LLP, headquartered in Knightsbridge, central London, gives little away, but its directors insist that they are “long-term investors” and that the reputation it acquired – after the collapse of the electrical goods retailer Comet – as a secretive firm looking for a kill is misplaced.
The company first came to public prominence as investors in OpCapita’s controversial takeover of Comet in 2011, shortly before it went into administration, which led to accusations that Greybull profited while thousands lost their jobs and other creditors lost millions. The reference still rankles with Marc Mehoyas, who told the Guardian on Monday: “We were not involved as a significant shareholder – but someone released our names as the main backers. That was far from the truth.”

The rescue deal for Ascoval, a joint venture between Vallourec and Ascometal, was welcomed by French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire and should guarantee the jobs of the 270 workers employed at the site.
British Steel will invest 47.5 million euros (£40.7 million) into Ascoval, while the French state and local government bodies will invest a further 47 million euros.
“The acquisition of Ascoval is part of our ongoing plans to re-establish British Steel as a leader in the steel industry,” said British Steel Chairman Roland Junck.

Greybull bought the Ascoval steel mill in Saint-Saulve, northern France, out of insolvency. It would invest €47m through its company British Steel, and the French state €47m. The 270 workers' jobs were reported as being secured. The purchase was reported on 2 May 2019. Two weeks later it was reported that Greybull was preparing to put British Steel into administration on 22 May[59]. After British Steel's insolvency, it was clarified that Greybull owned Ascoval, not British Steel and the French business was not directly affected. Greybull renamed Ascoval to 'British Steel Saint Saulve'.
