UCATT will be seeking a meeting with the administrators to establish what the future holds for our members.鈥�
He added: 鈥淭his potential closure, added to numerous others serves to underline that there needs to be an urgent change of course in the economic strategy being pursued by the government. The construction industry is crying out for direct Government investment. It is essential that money is spent on projects which can begin sooner rather than later to ensure that there are not further company closures and job losses in the construction industry.鈥�
