Lanarkshire councils to hold employment events for redundant Dawnfresh workers

Employment support events are being arranged for the 200 Dawnfresh employees who lost their jobs when the seafood firm went into administration this week.

North Lanarkshire Council is arranging the sessions alongside both neighbouring South Lanarkshire and Skills Development Scotland, through redundancy support programme PACE.

Council leader Jim Logue called the Uddingston factory’s immediate closure “devastating news for the employees” and said: “The council will do everything possible to provide the help they need.”
