A significant number of Carillion\u2019s Network Rail contracts have been acquired by Amey Rail Limited; the successful sale provides reassurance to many in the rail industry and continuity for projects around the country<\/h2>\n

The transfer of Network Rail contracts operated by Carillion<\/a> to Amey Rail Limited<\/a> includes projects in the East Midlands, London and North West England.<\/p>\n

For many of the Carillion employees<\/a> working on and supporting Network Rail projects, this is good news as the sale is expected to safeguard over 700 jobs and provide security for many other companies within the rail industry supply chain.<\/p>\n

Matthew Steele, commercial director Network Rail<\/a> said: \u201cThis is a positive step for the industry, ensuring the delivery of a number of major rail projects across the country whilst safeguarding an expected 700 jobs and the wider supply chain. We look forward to working with Amey to enable a smooth transition and ensure the ongoing safe working on our sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do recognise that this has been a very unsettling period for the employees of Carillion and would like to thank them for the continued commitment to the delivery of these projects.\u00a0 We remain focused on the transfer of remaining projects and employees to new arrangements over the coming weeks and months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Network Rail continues to work closely with the Official Receiver\u2019s special manager – PwC –<\/a> to seek long-term transition arrangements for the remaining contracts and staff. Whilst this process is ongoing, the remaining contracts continue to be delivered under our arrangement with PwC to enable an orderly transition.<\/p>\n

Last month, it was agreed that PwC will pay Carillion employees\u2019 wages<\/a> for work done on and supporting Network Rail\u2019s contracts until after Easter.<\/p>\n
