Carillion crisis: Most private customers agree to keep paying staff – live updates

Official Receiver says vast majority of companies who used Carillion’s services want to keep paying ‘in the interim’

Theresa May’s spokesman has confirmed that 90% of Carillion’s private sector clients want to keep employing its service.

The Official Receiver is very pleased with the level of support shown by Carillion’s private sector service customers. Over the past 48 hours all of the company’s private sector service customers have been contacted to determine their ongoing needs.

Over 90% of these customers have indicated that they want Carillion to continue providing services in the interim until new suppliers can be found and will provide funding which enables the Official Receiver to retain the employees working on those contracts.
