Alexander Dennis Redundancy Consultation Extended
SCOTLAND, JUL 2 – The extension aims to explore options to save 400 jobs amid factory closures due to low orders for double-decker buses, with government talks ongoing to support the workforce.
Alexander Dennis has extended the redundancy consultation period for its Scottish workers by two weeks, now ending on August 15, 2025, involving 400 jobs at risk.
The company has put about 400 jobs at its Falkirk and Larbert factories at risk while planning to move operations to Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
Paul Davies, the managing director, indicated that consistent orders of 70-100 buses are needed by year-end for the business to stabilize.
Shona Robison, the Finance Secretary, stated that the Scottish Government is working diligently to support the affected workers and explore options for a furlough scheme to avoid compulsory redundancies.
