Morrison ready to offer jobs to Connaught employees

Leading social housing repairs and maintenance provider Morrison stands ready and willing to offer full continuity of employment to those Connaught employees working on social housing repairs contracts, following the announcement of the administration of Connaught Partnerships.

Guy Wakeley, chief executive of Morrison, said: “This is clearly a difficult and concerning time for Connaught employees facing an uncertain future, but also for Connaught’s clients who are committed to delivering a range of services to their residents and local communities. We also cannot forget the local, small businesses who livelihoods and futures are hanging in the balance.

"Here at Morrison, we want to assure these employees and their clients that we are ready to support wherever possible as maintaining job security in these difficult economic times is an overarching priority. Now is the time to think about the people affected by this news, and to act decisively to protect vital jobs within the housing sector.”
