They produce a nice glossy magazine and the following item is from the latest issue.
"Triumph motorcycle sales slumped up to 65% in some markets due to the pandemic. The company also announced the loss of 400 jobs from a total work force of 2,500 in June. In July, an estimated 9,000 machines were in storage at the Hinckley factory. More than 200 staff positions will be cut in the UK, where notice of redundancies was issued months before the health crisis. Earlier this year, volume production ended at Hinckley; all models are now produced in Thailand. Crankshaft machining will continue at Hinckley and it is expected some retained production capacity will be used for custom variants."
