Carillion axes 900 jobs
Carillion, the construction and services group, is to axe around 900
jobs in the UK as it restructures its mechanical and electrical
engineering subsidiary - Crown House Engineering (CHE).
The group, created by the demerger from Tarmac in July 1999, said it was
cutting about a third of its 2,700 UK staff in a bid to rectify CHE's
"poor financial performance". Carillion said it would be looking firstat cutting down on the 500 agency staff employed at CHE.
