A further 133 former Carillion roles have been safeguarded.

A spokesperson for the Official Receiver confirmed the employees will transfer to new suppliers who have taken over contracts the failed industry services firm had been delivering.

The news means to date, a total of 11,093 jobs have been saved.

However, the OR spokesperson also revealed a further 59 employees have been made redundant.

"A further 133 jobs have been saved with employees transferring to new suppliers who have picked up contracts that Carillion had been delivering," the spokesperson said.

"This takes the number of employees who have been found secure ongoing employment to more than 11,000.

"Regretably 59 employees whose positions are no longer required as Carillion's business transfers to new suppliers will leave the business.

"I continue to liaise with potential purchasers for Carillion's remaining contracts and remain committed to keeping staff, elected employee representatives and unions informed as these arrangements are confirmed."
