Firm looking to take on Lagan staff
John Sisk & Son has said it will finish projects currently underway with its Lagan joint venture.
Lagan Construction Group, who Sisk has been working with to deliver a number of Highways England schemes, put four of its 30 companies into administration yesterday.
A Sisk statement said: 鈥淸We are] fully committed to completing all projects currently being progressed by the Sisk Lagan Joint Venture.鈥�
The pair were working on a 拢40m contract to upgrade the A19/A1058 Coast Road interchange in North Tyneside.
In November 2014, it also won a place on the Highways England鈥檚 Collaborative Delivery Framework for medium-value projects worth between 拢25m and 拢100m.
The entire five year deal, worth 拢5bn to improve England鈥檚 motorways and A roads, runs out in 2019 and Sisk said Lagan鈥檚 problems would not rule it out of bidding current and future jobs under the framework.
It added: 鈥淕iven our scale and capabilities, Sisk is also fully committed to pursuing all existing and future tender opportunities on the Collaborative Delivery Framework.鈥�
The firm also said it was in talks with affected Lagan staff about the possible transfers including staff on the A19 job.
