McGill workers called to meetings in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh amid concerns for firm’s future

Workers at a Dundee-basedĀ building services contractor have been called to a meeting in the city amid fears for the future of the company.

McGill workers have been called to a meeting at the Apex Hotel in Dundee. Workers say other meetings are taking place in Glasgow and Edinburgh, where the firm has branches.

The Courier understands McGill workers were asked to attend a meeting at the Apex Hotel at 2.30pm this afternoon.


UPDATE: Hundreds of jobs lost as McGill enters administration


Workers are already gathering, with one describing the atmosphere as “grim”.

“It’s over”

Another said: ā€œThere are meetings in Glasgow and Edinburgh as well.

ā€œItā€™s over. There are a lot of jobs. Itā€™s the apprentices I feel sorry for.

ā€œThere havenā€™t been any materials on site for a week. Weā€™ve been driving through to Edinburgh for nothing.ā€

George Ramsay from the Unite union said: ā€œThere have been rumours for a few weeks they werenā€™t getting paid by suppliers.

ā€œWhen guys arenā€™t getting materials you know there is a business problem.

ā€œI dealt with Muirfield when that went and it is a bad situation when the suppliers are not giving materials.ā€

450 staff

The latest accounts show the firm employs around 450 staff.Ā It has branches inĀ Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

McGill are one of Scotlandā€™s largest independent electrical contractors, with sales in 2017 of Ā£41.8 million and pre-tax profits booked of Ā£772,000.

The company works across commercial, residential and the education and healthcare sectors and has been involved in a number of high-profile building projects including Dundeeā€™s Olympia Leisure centre.

The Harrison Road-headquartered group has been operating for more than 30 years.

Any threat to McGill’s future would be another hammer blow for the city, which is still reeling from the news that 850 workers will lose their jobs at Michelin by 2020.
