From a conversation with an ex Perdio employee, the Sunderland factory was an absolute disaster. For example, Perdio televisions were manufactured, well, in his words, put together, but not very well. The issue was that the Sunderland factory workers were just not used to electronic assembly and that Perdio had been encouraged to set up shop there following government incentives. The net result was that a large numbers of non working sets were transported to London for rework before sale.
