Dunoon jobs

Scottish Government support for affected construction workers.

The Scottish Government is making every effort to support workers in Dunoon following news that 60 staff at Stuart McNee construction in the town are being made redundant.

Business Minister Fergus Ewing said recently:

“KPMG have confirmed that they have made 60 employees of Stuart McNee construction redundant, most of whom live in the town. This news will be devastating for employees, their families and the town of Dunoon and the Scottish Government will do everything possible to help.

“Our initiative for responding to redundancy situations, Partnership Action for Continuing Employment (PACE) is already engaged with the administrators, who will today issue a letter on our behalf inviting employees to attend four PACE drop in sessions over the next fortnight to provide immediate help. Through providing skills development and employability support, PACE aims to minimise the time that individuals affected by redundancy are out of work. Skills Development Scotland will also help the five Modern Apprentices who trained at the company.”
