More than 40 former Carillion employees have had their jobs safeguarded after being taken on by building materials business, Tarmac.

A total of 45 staff, including two apprentices, were previously working on Carillion/Tarmac joint venture (JV) highways projects including the Finningley & Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme, A50 Growth Corridor and the Eastern Highways Alliance. Work on these schemes is ongoing and are currently being carried out by Tarmac alongside its supply chain partners.

Martin Riley, senior vice president at Tarmac, said: "We have been able to offer these talented individuals job security and look forward to helping them develop their careers with Tarmac. As a former apprentice myself, it’s particularly pleasing to be able to welcome some apprentices, especially as our 2018 apprenticeship scheme is about to be launched.

"These new colleagues will help us provide reassurance to customers and the public that important infrastructure projects will continue to be delivered on schedule."

Tarmac said former Carillion employees who have been made redundant should monitor its website for new job vacancies and make contact if they have relevant skills, particularly in quantity surveying and project management.
