A spokesperson for the Official Receiver said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the ongoing liquidation of the Carillion group, we have reviewed additional public and private sector contracts, as well as core divisions of the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can confirm that we have safeguarded a further 100 jobs and these roles are linked to public sector contracts. Most staff will be transferring on existing or similar terms, something I will continue to facilitate wherever possible as we work to find new providers for Carillion\u2019s remaining contracts.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, 452 posts are being made redundant. They cover a variety of roles connected with private and public contracts across different parts of the country, as well as back-office functions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate this will be a difficult time for those who have lost their jobs. Jobcentre Plus\u2019 Rapid Response Service stands ready to support any of these employees by providing advice and information so people can move into a new job as quickly as possible. People who have been made redundant will also be entitled to make a claim for statutory redundancy payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur efforts are focused on the smooth transfer of Carillion\u2019s contracts to new providers and we will continue to keep Carillion\u2019s workforce updated as these arrangements are finalised.\u201d<\/p>\n
