The total number of people made redundant through the liquidation of outsourcing and infrastructure giant Carillion has reached 2,221, although 11,093 jobs have been saved.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Official Receiver said: ‘A further 133 jobs have been saved with employees transferring to new suppliers who have picked up contracts that Carillion had been delivering.
'This takes the number of employees who have been found secure ongoing employment to more than 11,000.
‘I continue to liaise with potential purchasers for Carillion’s remaining contracts and remain committed to keeping staff, elected employee representatives and unions informed as these arrangements are confirmed.’
These figures do not include jobs attached to contracts where an intention to purchase has been entered into but has not yet formally occurred
More than 3,700 employees are retained to enable Carillion to deliver the services it is providing for public and private sector customers until decisions are taken to transfer or cease these contracts.
