A spokesperson for the Official Receiver said:

More than half (54%) the pre-liquidation workforce – close to 10,000 employees – have now been found secure ongoing employment so far through the liquidation. More than half of Carillion workers find new jobs after firm's collapse

Carillion went into liquidation in January

More than half of Carillion's workforce, just under 10,000 people, have found secure ongoing employment, the Official Receiver has said. I am continuing to engage with staff, elected employee representatives and unions to keep them informed as these arrangements are confirmed.”

To date 9,946 jobs have been saved in total and 1,802 jobs have been made redundant through the liquidation

These numbers do not include jobs attached to contracts where an intention to purchase has been entered into but has not yet formally occurred

More than 5,400 employees are still 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.
Following the bankruptcy of UK engineering outsourcing firm Carillion, the Official Receiver reveals more than half of the roughly 20,000 employees have found new jobs.
