Employees of one of Wales’ major
car supermarkets fear the worst, following the closure of three
outlets. Cars4U, launched in February 2002, has shut branches at
Cardiff, Treforest and Caerphilly, leaving dozens of workers in
confusion over their
jobs .
Workers at the
company were left standing outside the firm’s main
Treforest branch, unsure of their situation. Cars4U UK employs
about 50 people, whose future is now uncertain.
Furthermore, those customers who have bought a
car with the firm, taking out
car finance to purchase a
new car, could face problems in the future.
One worker, an apprentice
mechanic called Scott Thomas, reportedly said: I think
I've just lost my job. We don't know anything and have just
been locked out of the building. I can't believe this is
happening.
The
director, Franco Gallo, ran another firm called Ken Thorne
Car Sales, which went into
liquidation .
