I worked at the Stephenson plant from the begininng till the end for what I thought were an honorable and law abiding company but in the end they behaved like shady second hand car dealers in there treatment of a loyal and hard working workforce. They contravened UK employment law in the most dispicable way and 1 year down the line the people are having to go to an industrial tribunal to get there legitamate contractual redundancy pay, even though they had paid out on this agreement around 5 times in the previous years. They also failed to consult at the right time and prior to the closure virtually begged the workforce not to Join the union knowing full well they would have little or no representation when they announced there intention to close. Even though they were profitable at the Stephenson site I can fully understand a business decision to close the plant to increase there profit margins but the least they could do would to treat the workforce in a Professional, ethical and legitamate manner. I would advise all TRW workers who are not covered by an organisation like a trade union to get some cover now as the corparate management of this company will walk all over you and discard you like a piece of trash. The dollar is above all to these people and there cut throat style of management proves this. Honest Joes engine valves was the name Stephenson employees branded then and they are not that far from the truth

It was a great company to work for. Entering as a college grad, I had the opp to move across multiple divisions within the company like, finance, production, sales & marketing and operations etc.

Every division was filled with very talented, capable and cooperative managers who let me work on some challenging projects that really helped my confidence and career. They did not treat me as an internee and were always willing to guide. The environment at TRW is extremely professional and respectful. It’s a good start for your career.
