It appears that the UK hub is being replaced by India and it being made a main technical hub. I guess we did train our own replacements.

What rock have you been hiding under for the last 10 years. Just figured this out? :)
So much for Britain first…’and not or’ - turns out it was indeed ‘or’
@a6 completely agree, this is something nobody talks about at national level. In the news they always talk about restarting the economy bla bla bla, but nobody ever mentions the facts that UK companies offshore thousands of good jobs eve year.
This is pretty much part of the conversation in national politics in France and Germany.
@c6 Timber Square will be the European hub for Shell-BP.
Will be listed in the US.
@a6 yes, traitors to their nation.
Have a little look around the Sunbury canteen at lunchtime. Wall to wall Indians.
Timber square will be for all the bullsh-t jobs, not engineers.
@a9 Kohli spoke of it, quite possibly by accident and off-the-record, a few months ago.
@a8 Hogwarsh. What evidence is there for this alleged merger?
Part of the BP India team will go with the Shell-BP unification coming in 2027 (once both finish the current divestments). The other part may begin in Shell's Bangalore office but will ultimately go to Reliance in the long-rumored downstream merger.
One major disappointment that no one acknowledges openly is that the bp leaders (sitting in the uk) have sold out their own countrymen for supposed cheaper labour out of India. I hope they are proud of themselves as they will sort themselves with cushy jobs and avoid the layoffs entirely. Very sad
