LDV rescue deal collapses

LDV was on the brink of collapse on Tuesday night, threatening more than 6,000 jobs, after the Malaysian acquisition of the van maker broke down.

The Birmingham-based manufacturer has reapplied to enter administration because potential buyer Weststar has been unable to secure financing for a deal. This meant the Malaysian business halted its
short-term funding of LDV.

Union leaders have urged the Government to provide loan guarantees to support the takeover and save the company, but it is believed a state bail-out is unlikely because of doubts about LDV’s viability. A management buy-out deal collapsed earlier this year.
