I would daresay that a company like Westfield/Fisher/GD Cars etc could send their people here, manufacture the stuff here (even assemble it here) and re-export it back to the UK and make it come out cheaper.

Some companies are doing similar things already. RV Dynamics have moved to Sri Lanka for the cheaper labour costs to produce their cars.
