Local MSP Comments On Les Taylor Group

Commenting following the news that Mintlaw-based Les Taylor Contractors and JG Fowlie Demolition have gone into receivership with the loss of 164 jobs, Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson said:

“It’s very disappointing indeed that a major local employer has found itself in such difficulties.

“Obviously, we knew that there had been a downturn in the business over the last year or so but this has come very much out of the blue.

“I certainly will be seeking to make contact with the company to see if there is any assistance I can provide the workforce in these very difficult times and hope to meet with the receivers and the workers later this week.”
