锘緾ontractor Morgan Sindall is creating a 拢30m-turnover civils and building contractor from the remains of Rok subsidiary Tulloch.

Morgan Sindall set up the business, led by former Rok Scotland area leader Neil Duncan, after recruiting 10 executives from the collapsed firm.

Graham Shennan, Morgan Sindall鈥檚 managing director, said the new Inverness-based business had already won its first contract since the collapse of Rok.

Tulloch went out of business when Rok collapsed, with debts of just under 拢1m.

Shennan said: 鈥淲e didn鈥檛 go through the administrator for this, we just spoke to the staff after the collapse.

While the contracts didn鈥檛 transfer, we鈥檝e picked up our first bit of work and we think there鈥檚 a 拢20-30m business in this.鈥�

The new business will bid for Tulloch鈥檚 former contracts when they are re-tendered, as well as general work. Its first contract is a 拢400,000 listed building conversion.

Inverness鈥� construction economy was hit severely by Rok鈥檚 collapse, as the contractor employed 324 staff in the Highlands town.

Contractor ISG has said it will open a new office in Glasgow, after having secured Rok鈥檚 largest single unfinished contract, the 拢86m Diageo bottling plant in Leven, Fife.

Rok collapsed owing 拢92.8m to suppliers and 拢6.2m in pay and benefits to staff.

Contractors Mansell, Mears and Primus have also benefited from taking on former parts of the Rok business, while the management of Rok鈥檚 Grimbsy subsidiary Topcon this week re-established the company independently.

Also this week, Knightstone, a housing association and former Rok customer, said it was launching a maintenance company staffed by former Rok employees to service 1,800 tenants.
