The States of Guernsey is continuing to monitor developments regarding the Garenne Construction Group, including the announcement yesterday that liquidators were appointed to Rabeys, its vehicle fleet sales and maintenance business.
Deputy Peter Ferbrache, President of the Policy & Resources Committee said
"It is very sad news when any local business with a decades-long history finds itself no longer able to continue trading. Of course our thoughts are most of all with the staff affected and their families."
Deputy Neil Inder, President of the Committee for Economic Development said
"It's of course sad to learn of the redundancies at Rabeys. But there is a very high demand right now in Guernsey for skilled people. There are vacancies in both the public and private sector that desperately need filling, so I'm confident everyone affected will quickly find new roles that make use of their experience."
