The Official Receiver confirmed this morning that to date 9,073 jobs have been saved and 1,705 jobs have been made redundant through the liquidation.

A further 123 staff will leave the business later this week as the programme of redundancies rolls on.

Around 6,400 staff are still in limbo helping the liquidator to deliver the remaining services on around 70 remaining contracts awaiting a  decision on whether to transfer or cease these contracts.

More than half the 460-strong workforce at Carillion’s Wolverhampton headquarters have lost their jobs with just over 200 back-office staff still working with liquidators PwC.
