It only takes a short time for a company to loose a reputation and many years to build one. Ford in the UK did not have a great rep and it is only in the last few years that this is turning around - Focus is the best selling car here, and for good reason. Right product, right packaging, right quality and price. It stimulates the competition, ASTRA has improved out of all recognition in the last iteration, so the French respond - C4 for instance etc. Its a virtuous circle. One thing though very few British manufacturers are left and the best are Japanese owned. Hopefully Jaguar can pull it around under new management but only time will tell.
One thing about our old trade unions - many of their leaders were motivated by a desire to bring down the capitalist system, so that is not a good start.
