Cornerstone gave over £16m to local church in the years before mass redundancies

Former employees, however, will protest outside the church on Sunday, saying that they are “angry” that so much money was donated to the church rather than invested in Wrightbus.

A former Wrightbus employee puts up a T-shirt with the words ‘Shame on you Jeff Wright’ outside the factory in Co Antrim. Photograph: Paul McErlane “If you were making stupid profit that’s one thing,” another worker, Colin Urwin told The Irish Times, “but margins here were so tight. This should never have happened.”

Saying they were “devastated” that the company has been placed into administration, the Wright family said they had covered “significant losses” for more than a year, but it was impossible to continue doing so.
