Meeting of the Parliament 17 March 2016
I am acutely aware of the situation and of the impact that it will have on those who work there, their families and the local area. Indeed, as the MSP for the neighbouring constituency, I know the importance of the employer and how long-standing its presence has been in the south side of Glasgow.
I can tell James Dornan that Scottish Enterprise met the company yesterday to explore all possible options for supporting the business and retaining its highly skilled employees. Our PACE team has also been in contact with the company and is offering support for affected employees. It will remain in contact with the company and employees throughout the consultation period. We will do everything possible to ensure that all options are explored and that the workforce is given all the support that it expects and deserves at this time.
