Rolls Royce Phantom
A couple of months ago, Rolls-Royce seemed to be doing just fine, but lately it seems the luxury car company will be reducing production. Rolls-Royce has already extended the Christmas closing down at its Chichester plant in West Sussex from a couple of weeks to three and is setting up a number of "non production" days. It has also laid off 40 of the company's temporary staff but there was no announcement concerning permanent layoffs. Production cuts for next year is in the works, but currently the company has not commented on whether orders have been cancelled or if the auto company will have regular shutdowns. Since Rolls-Royce vehicles are made to order the company was protected temporarily from the economic downturn, but it is now feeling the effects as the orders for new cars have gone down significantly lately.
