Administrators Grant Thornton were called in after the company, a subsidiary of Irish civil engineering firm Roadbridge, went into receivership last week.

Grant Thornton has now confirmed that the company has ceased trading with the majority of the firm’s 215 employees made redundant, with a few still working to help with the administration process.

Roadbridge UK was responsible for 11 miles of cabling at the Seagreen wind farm off the coast of Angus. It was also working on two HS2 sites.

Its Scottish headquarters were based in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, with workers in locations ranging from Dumfries, Glasgow, Invergordon, Carnoustie and Lairg.

It is understood that a raft of suppliers and subcontractors working with Roadbridge are now left holding millions in unpaid invoices.

Rob Parker, director at Grant Thornton, said: “Due to the financial position of the business, unfortunately the UK business has ceased to trade, with the vast majority of the 215 employees being made redundant.

“The joint administrators and their team will now concentrate their efforts on supporting employees through the Redundancy Payments Service claims process during this difficult time, as well as seeking to maximise realisations from the company’s assets for the benefit of the creditors of the company.”
