/AVID ABELL, chairman and lanaging director of Leyland 'ehicles Ltd, has been at pains ) point out that the company as nothing to do with those -ightful people who make cars at nobody seems to want. The se of the name Leyland in conection with BL Cars is, he says, frustrating and misleading," nd unnecessarily upsets mpioyees, distributors and ustomers.
Unlike BL Cars, Leyland ehicles was able Vast year to hed about 5,000 workers without any significant internal isputes–. Another 200 rnployees left in the first six
weeks of this year, and the planned reduction of staff has almost been completed.
Fewer men are producing more vehicles and the respectable end of the Leyland empire has started the Eighties on a hopeful note.
