US EditionWe will do everything we can to save Alexander Dennis jobs, vows Swinney
- Alexander Dennis announced on June 14, 2025, plans to consolidate UK bus manufacturing into a single site in Scarborough, risking up to 400 jobs.
- The move responds to changing market dynamics and a competitive imbalance partly caused by current UK policies lacking incentives for local content and job retention.
- Production at Falkirk will cease and Larbert's operations will suspend after current contracts, affecting about 22% of the workforce and 1000 UK suppliers with wider supply chain impacts.
- Paul Davies emphasized the need for substantial measures to improve efficiency in order to maintain a competitive operating model, noting that current UK policies fail to support or reward local economic gains, including job retention and creation.
- Scottish Government and local representatives pledged to explore all options during consultations to retain jobs and facilities, while hoping forthcoming industrial strategy improves support for UK manufacturing.
