More than 700 jobs cut at Rok

The administrators in charge of Rok have made 711 of its 3,800 staff redundant.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) who were appointed on Monday said 558 of the redundancies are in the maintenance and improvements business, 82 in the construction side, 69 in the Scotland PHE (Plumbing, Heating and Electrical) business and two in head office.

However, Mike Jervis, joint administrator said that there have been more than 100 expressions of interest in the business and PwC was currently reducing this to a shortlist.
