MP and MSP meet Sangs workers
Local MSP Stewart Stevenson and Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford have met with workers from Sangs in Macduff yesterday (Sunday).
The Parliamentarians were there to hear concerns from the employees and also to update them on efforts being made by the Scottish Government to secure the future of the plant and the jobs in Macduff.
Speaking after the meeting, Eilidh Whiteford MP said:
“Having already talked to the administrators and management, I welcomed the opportunity to speak directly with the staff.
“I was able to tell the staff that the Scottish Government’s Enterprise Minister, Fergus Ewing, will be meeting with Allied Irish Bank and the administrators in the coming week, and will, as a first priority, be pressing for time for Sangs to continue trading while potential buyers are being identified.
“Having talked with the administrators and the staff, it’s clear to me that Sangs is a viable business with a lot of potential.
Banffshire & Buchan Coast MSP Stevenson added:
“There is no doubt that the Scottish Government recognises the huge importance of Sangs to the Macduff and wider Banffshire economy and I hope that the efforts of Enterprise Minister Fergus Ewing and his team will help to maintain Sangs in Macduff for years to come.”
