News story: Carillion: Official Receiver’s employment update

A spokesperson for the Official Receiver said:

Seven employees have transferred to new suppliers over the past week. Regrettably one member of staff has been made redundant and Jobcentre Plus’ RapidResponse Service is available to support them find new work.

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