Carillion losses rise to over 1,500
Why did this article catch your attention?
This article caught my attention because 78 Carillion employees have been made redundant , meaning the total amount of Carillion employees who have been made redundant has reached 1,500.
How does this affect the 78 employees?
This will mean that 78 Carillion employees were made redundant and would need to seek alternative employment opportunities.
Whilst they are actively seeking new employment opportunities, they should be able to claim Universal Credit (unemployment benefits) which is lower amount of money than they would get from being employed. In turn, they will not have enough money to pay for the necessities, like household bills and food.
Who else would be affected by this?
Not only would these 78 employees be affected, but there are others who are affected. This includes, but not limited to:
- Contracts / Building Work: Someone, somewhere has signed a contract for building work and most likely started paying for it or paid it in full. Would Carillion be able to pay it back if they are unable to complete the work?
- The Government: Without taxes being paid by the 78 employees who were made redundant, that will affect the finances for the Government to distribute where necessary.
What are your thoughts on the 305 employees from the different departments gaining new employment?
Congratulations to the 305 former Carillion employees who have found alternative employment.
You have done an excellent job and I’m excited for you!
I am one of the former 78 former employees. How can I find alternative employment?

- Preparing CV’s
- Cover letters for job applications
- Researching a prospective employer
- And more.

Previous articles about Carillion
Why did this article catch your attention?
This article com attention because by what echo newspaper has been saying, KPMR (Carillion’s auditors) signed off accounts as ‘best in class’ and investors have been ‘fleeing for the hills’.
Who should be taking control of the situation?
The owners of Carillion should be dealing with this matterfully. However, if they did not want debts, they should not have taken on the task that was a hand.
If they started the work but realised that they would be in debt, they should put everything on hold until they found the funds to be able to pay the debts.
What do you think should happen?
I personally think that Carillion should come together investors and everybody else who has been affected deal with the situation.
It will not be an overnight job, might take weeks or even months to get this sorted. It may take longer for a final decision.
Things are not going to be resolved if they are not committed or wanting to talk.
