Unfortunately while Patrick was in Basingstoke training for power users, they announced in the middle of the week that Lilly would close Basingstoke as a manufacturing plant. The most likely scenario is that the land will be sold, and all the global teams that are currently in offices there will be relocated. Although we know a lot of people who work in Basingstoke, fortuantely we do not have very many who were directly impacted by the closing. Patrick said that training continued despite the fact that his trainees received such bad news, which was encouraging.
Here's a copy of the newspaper announcing the closing (and yes, they did not spell the company's name right...ooops).
