Iconic British carmaker Lotus ‘threatens to close UK factory and set up new plant in US' with 1,300 jobs at risk

But, sources claimed moving production to the US was being discussed. This would put 1,300 jobs at risk if plans were to go ahead. It emerges after production in Hethel was temporarily suspended due to the tariffs on cars being imported to the US. Advertisement Read More The hikes meant business with the States was at risk, with American sellers required to pay taxes of 25% on imports of cars and car parts. In fact, exports to the US have halved since Trump's tariffs were introduced, figures revealed. This comes after the firm warned it is being forced to make more cuts, Lotus again blamed the "volatility" caused by Donald Trump's trade tariffs for the cuts.

Chief financial officer Daxue Wang blamed the decrease in profits on the impact of worldwide tariffs and "global trade uncertainties." Advertisement He added that Lotus, which will 'As we progress with the acquisition of Lotus UK, we are committed to driving cost streamlining and operational enhancements across all markets to continuously deliver long-term value,' Mr Wang said. The beginning of these cost-cutting measures was announced last month, when the manufacturer announced that it would be cutting 270 jobs. The brand promised it was "committed to the UK" despite the cuts, but this has done little to ease fears. Advertisement A spokesperson said: "The proposed restructuring is vital to enhance our competitiveness in today's market. "Lotus Cars has announced a proposed business restructure to ensure sustainable operations, amid volatile and evolving market conditions including the US tariffs and shifting consumer demand for sports cars. "The company plans to increase synergies across the wider Lotus brand and with its largest shareholder and technology partner, Geely Holding Group. "It will look at greater resource sharing and collaboration in technology, engineering, and operations." Advertisement Days after the job cuts were announced, Lotus' current owner Geely International, triggered a 2023 agreement to force Lotus Technology Inc to buy back 51 per cent of Lotus Advanced Technologies. Currently Geely owns 51 per cent of Lotus, with the other 49 percent owned by Malaysian group Etika Automotive. Qingfeng Feng, Senior Vice President of Geely Holding Group and CEO of Group Lotus, said: "This acquisition marks a critical milestone in our strategic journey to fully integrate all businesses under the Lotus brand. "It will strengthen brand equity and enhance our operational flexibility and internal synergies.

Donald Trump's introduction of 25 percent tariffs on car imports to the US has heaped huge pressure on car brands. The UK sends one sixth of all of the cars it builds each year to the US. These include luxe models from car brands such as Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Land Rover. Advertisement Sales to the US amount to about 100,000 a year, with a worth of around £8 billion. Trump has claimed that the import tax for cars, which came into play on April 2, would lead to "tremendous growth" for the industry. However, experts say it will likely lead to a temporary shutdown of significant production in the US and strain relations with other countries. 4 Iconic British sportscar manufacturer Lotus is threatening to close a UK factory and set up in the US Credit: Alamy Advertisement More to follow...

Over €17m changes hands as racing's biggest names splash cash and records broke

Records were smashed as €17,576,000 changed hands at this year's Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale. A record price of €285,000 was paid for a Store sold anywhere in Ireland, while a record number of 38 lots were sold for over €100,000. Four horses were sold for over €200,000 with a Walk In The Park gelding out of Posh Trish (Lot 338) topping the sale at €285,000. Those involved in the bidding for the first foal out of the Listed-winning Stowaway mare included Gordon Elliott and Megan Nicholls. However, it was Dan Skelton Racing and Ryan Mahon who won the bidding war and a delighted Skelton said afterwards: "He has incredible movement, he has good size, and has everything we want. He is a proper athlete, comes from a good hotel, he is out of a great mare and by the right sire. We thought he'd make €250,000, and then it was just a few arm wrestles after. He deserves to be a lot of money because he is a beauty – he is the most expensive Store we have ever bought!" He added on ownership plans: "He is for some fantastic American ladies, Myrteel Ward and Margaret Duprey, who have supported us for some time – this is a definite step up for them, and for all of us!" Agent Tom Malone, teaming up with trainer Gavin Cromwell and representing owner Owen Daley, splashed out €260,000 for Lot 370, a filly by Tunis named Moscovite from Moanmore Stables, who scored a lucrative profit after snapping her up last year for just €43,000. The filly is a half-sister to four winners in France, and her dam Russie, by Network, is a half-sibling to Natal, a horse with 11 wins under its belt, including graded races over hurdles and fences, and finished runner-up in the prestigious two-mile Champion Chase (G1) at Punchestown. "Owen was looking for a lovely horse and I said that this filly was a standout, she is a very smart," Malone commented. "I have ticked the box for the MSL Mercedes-Benz Sale Bumper, as I have done with all the horses I have bought over the two days, including those going to England – it is small amount of money for a valuable race." Meanwhile, Gordon Elliott secured the Blue Bresil half-brother (Lot 432) to this year's Grade 1 Scilly Isle Novices' Chase victor Handstands, a Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale 2023 graduate, for a cool €235,000. "He is a lovely athletic horse, one we have been waiting for all week," Elliott expressed about the Glenvale Stud-consigned gelding, who had previously been pinhooked at the Tattersalls Ireland November National Hunt Sale for €70,000. "We will get him home now and broken in. His half-brother, Handstands, is very talented." The half-siblings come from a talented extended family that includes black-type winners Be My Belle, Snake Eyes, Boreen Belle, Rose Of Inchiquin, Empire Of Dirt, Monalee and Monty's Star. The fourth lot to fetch over €200,000 was another gelding by the sale's leading sire Walk In The Park – Aiden Murphy shelled out €210,000 for the Glenvale Stud-consigned three year old gelding out of the unraced Presenting mare La Bella Roma, a half-sister to the Listed bumper winner Vegas Blue (Lot 239). This is the family of the 11-time winner Bellshill, whose victories included the Punchestown Champion Bumper (G1), two Grade 1 novice hurdles, and the Punchestown Gold Cup (G1) and the Irish Gold Cup (G1). "For me, this is the nicest Walk In The Park at the sale," said Murphy, adding: "I loved him, he is for Olly [Murphy] and for a new partnership in the yard – existing owners who have got together to increase their firepower." The final buyer table featured some of National Hunt racing's most high profile trainers, with Willie Mullins / Harold Kirk , Olly / Aiden Murphy, Dan Skelton / Ryan Mahon, Gordon Elliott and O'Neill Racing all featuring prominently over the two days. Simon Kerins, CEO of Tattersalls Ireland, expressed his satisfaction with the sale's performance: "The Derby Sale continues to deliver – not just in headline prices, but in real depth of trade. This week saw the highest-priced Store sold this year, and across every key metric the sale has significantly surpassed last year's strong figures. A record breaking 38 lots sold for €100,000 or more, while today's session saw us exceed the €10 million mark for the first time. The confidence shown by leading buyers, both in Ireland and in the UK, is a direct reflection of the quality on offer. "The 14 Grade 1 winners in the 2024/25 season tell their own story. That level of success isn't a coincidence, and it's what brings the best agents, owners, and trainers back to Fairyhouse year after year. "The Irish point-to-point community were out in force once again, and that cohort of the industry make sure that the Irish point-to-point field remains a trusted nursery and source of racecourse talent. "We welcomed MSL Mercedes-Benz as our partner for the first time, and their presence has helped to elevate the sale. All horses catalogued and offered at the Derby Sale are eligible for the new €100,000 Tattersalls Ireland MSL Mercedes-Benz Sales Bumper. "My thanks also to Irish Thoroughbred Marketing – their support plays an important part in strengthening the UK buying bench and complementing our own marketing teams' efforts."
