The government has helped investment bankers implement a rescue plan for Britain’s largest steel producer after months of negotiations to secure thousands of jobs.

Sky News has learned that Credit Suisse was asked by the Treasury to consult with Ta Ta Steel, owner of the giant Port Talbot plant in South Wales.

City sources said the ministers also drafted management consultant McKinsey this weekend to draw a blueprint for the future of the UK’s larger steel industry.

The appointment of Credit Suisse – which banking sources say Bono agreed to work on – will put an end to speculation that talks between the government and the Indian-owned industry group were over.

Steel sector sources said that Tata Steel is on its way to submit a revised proposal to the ministers which would involve injection of substantial funds from the taxpayers.

Tata Steel’s previous application, Sky News published in July, Up to 50% of UK business demanded about প্রায় 900 million in government cash in exchange for equity shares.

Officials, however, rejected the offer on the grounds that the steelmaker’s parents would have been paid the same amount as the company, but had not pledged its own significant capital.

The talks have gained growing urgency as one of India’s largest conglomerates, Tata, seeks to curb losses in its multi-year British steel expedition.

In total, the business employs around 8,000 people in the UK, including 3,500 in Port Talbot.

Credit Suisse played a key role in advising ministers during the 200 Credit Banking Crisis and recently saw a number of top officials drafting to help the government further.

Charles Donald, a former credit Swiss banker, now runs UK Government Investments (UKGI), a whitehall unit that oversees state interests in companies such as Channel 4 and NetWest Holdings.

The UGGI project is also playing a key role in Birch, the name designated by Chancellor Ishii Sunak for the evaluation of funding requests from organizations outside the scope of the project.

To date, only Sales, a Welsh steel manufacturer that primarily supplies the construction industry, has received a span of £ 30m with strict conditions with executive pay and environmental targets.

Selsa loans include warrants that can be converted into equity stock before 2023.

This weekend, an official spokesman said: “We strongly support the UK steel sector and its valuable contribution to the UK economy.

“The government uses external advice to better understand how it can help businesses.”

According to insiders, talks with Tata Steel could continue for a few more months.

Industry sources said the order was also significant for McKinsey to help create a vision for Britain’s steel-making future.

The consultant’s work will help inform decision-making as to which agencies are eligible for government assistance, they said.

Thousands of steelworkers have been frustrated since the start of the coronavirus epidemic, and the country’s largest manufacturers, including Chinese-owned British Steel and Liberty Steel, have sought financial help from the government.

The Sunday Times reported in July that Tata Steel was planning to shut down its two blast furnaces at Port Talbot and replace them with clinic electric arc furnaces.

Such a move would prevent carbon emissions from plants but would potentially result in job losses and promise GMB union members to fight openly for job security.

Credit Suisse was hired more than four months after Tata Steel requested a 500 million loan from the government in the early stages of the epidemic.

It is alleged that the plan was rejected on the grounds that it was not accompanied by credible proposals for the conversion of UK activities.

Tata Steel has undergone multiple financial restructuring, one of which was 2017 which gave the company a 33% stake in the Pension Protection Fund.

It is not yet clear how any further reconstruction of the shareholder structure will affect the interest of the pension lifeboat.

In January, Natarajan Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Steel’s parent company, said: “I need to reach a situation where at least [Port Talbot] The plant is self-sufficient. “

The Treasury declined to comment on Saturday, while Tata Steel Europe said: “We are actively discussing various options for the future of our UK activities, including possible cooperation and government participation to create sustainable stability. Footprints for the future.

“Given the prevailing market situation and disruption by the COVID-19 epidemic, it is clear to us that UK operations have faced structural challenges that urgently need to be addressed.

“Negotiations with the government are constructive and ongoing and no decision has been taken at this stage.”
