Glasgow firm goes bust after being awarded £10m taxpayer's cash leaving 600 unemployed

A Glasgow-based firm awarded millions in government contracts despite warnings about its owners credentials has gone bust leaving hundreds of staff out of work.

Go-Centric, based on Renfield Street, ceased trading 'immediately' on Thursday, leaving around 600 call centre employees in limbo just weeks before Christmas. The company was the third firm associated with David Harper which has collapsed after being given public contracts.

The 'business process outsourcer' was given almost £10 million from the Scottish Government to manage Test and Protect contact tracing services during the pandemic but furloughed staff after taking on the work, reports the Sunday Mail.
