Industry Shares Messages of Support for ISG Employees

23 September 2024 | Updated 25 September 2024

As the news broke that construction giant ISG was going into administration, people have been sharing messages of support on social media to help the thousands of workers who have been made redundant.

On Friday 20 September, joint administrators EY said in a statement that ISG’s UK operations would cease trading with immediate effect. No further work will be undertaken on existing UK contracts. This includes construction, fit-out, retail and engineering contracts, and government projects such as prison refurbishments.

Timothy Vance, Alan Michael Hudson and Dan Edkins were appointed as joint administrators of the following companies:

ISG Central Services Limited
ISG Interior Services Group UK Limited
ISG Fit Out Limited
ISG Engineering Services Limited
ISG UK Retail Limited
ISG Retail Limited
ISG Construction Limited
ISG Jackson Limited

Whilst 2,200 workers have been made redundant, 200 employees will remain at the business to assist the administrators.
