The Official Receiver provides an update on employment within the Carillion group in liquidation.

A spokesperson for the Official Receiver yesterday said:

A further 14 employees have transferred to new suppliers over the past week and regrettably 28 staff will be leaving the business later this week. Jobcentre Plus’ RapidResponse Service will provide them with every support to find new work.

I would like to thank all staff for the professionalism they have shown throughout the liquidation.
