As far as I can see from the various media reports Pfizer at Sandwich which at its peak employed 5,000 and now employs 3,500 now say there will be further job losses, expected losses are to be between 200 and 500 jobs.
This is a particularly bad problem locally as the losses will be of research staff who will be unlikely to be able to get work locally, so they will probably have to relocate out of the area.
News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
I think your typing fingers must have had a slight fit there Michael - 5,000,000 staff in Sandwich would have made the rush hour traffic even worse than it had been...
