French contractor saves construction jobs
82 employees of former Scunthorpe-based Clugston Group have had their jobs saved via a series of deals by the joint administrators.
67 former Clugston Construction workers will now have their employment transferred to French contractor CNIM.
CNIM had been working alongside Clugston on five energy from waste projects, where construction will continue.
The administrators have also safeguarded the employment of an additional 15 people who worked for Clugston Services.
Despite there being interest in other construction contracts, the administrators have stated that 128 of Clugston’s employees have been made redundant.
James Clark, joint administrator from KPMG, said: “We are very pleased to have secured employment for 82 members of the Clugston workforce through a series of deals, but equally acknowledge what a difficult time it is for those employees who have had to be made redundant. I’m grateful to all Clugston staff for their professionalism, and to the Insolvency Service for dealing with statutory payments promptly.”
There are a further 51 employees who continue to assist the administrators as they negotiate additional contract sales and deal with the affairs of the Companies.
