The Official Receiver provides an update on employment
within the Carillion group in liquidation.
A spokesperson for the Official Receiver said:
Secure on-going employment has been confirmed for a further 101
members of staff who are transferring to new suppliers, taking
the total number of jobs saved to 11,739.
Regrettably eight job losses are being announced and those
leaving the business this week will be provided with every
support to find new work by Jobcentre Plus’ Rapid Response
Service.
We continue to discuss with potential purchases for Carillion’s
remaining contracts, as well as remain committed to engaging
with staff, elected employee representatives and unions as
these arrangements are confirmed.
- In total, to date 11,739 jobs (64% of the pre-liquidation
workforce) have been saved and 2,340 (13%) jobs have been made
redundant through the liquidation
- A further 1,121 employees have left the business during the
liquidation through finding new work, retirement or for other
reasons
- This information does not include jobs attached to contracts
where an intention to purchase has been entered into but has not
yet formally occurred
- Just under 3,000 employees are currently retained to enable
Carillion to deliver the remaining services it is providing for
public and private sector customers until decisions are taken to
transfer or cease these contracts
