129 more Carillion employees transferred to new suppliers

A further 129 former Carillion staff have secured ongoing employment by transferring to new suppliers, the Official Receiver has confirmed.

The announcement brings the number of jobs saved to 11,618 since the company’s collapse in January.

However, another nine further redundancies are being made in roles no longer required as the remaining business reduces. Those who are leaving the business this week will be provided with every support to find new work by Jobcentre Plus’ Rapid Response Service, the Official Receiver added.

In total, 2,301 jobs have been made redundant through the liquidation with a further 1,103 employees having left the business during the liquidation through finding new work, retirement or for other reasons.



Discussions continue with potential purchasers for Carillion’s remaining contracts and with staff, elected employee representatives and unions as these arrangements are confirmed.

Just over 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.
