135 jobs lost at Summerhall
THE Capital's economy suffered another blow today after it emerged that 135 jobs have been lost following the liquidation of a printing company.
Leith-based Summerhall was liquidated just one month after being saved from administration by Livingston firm Stewarts.
Stewarts managing director Terry O'Hare said that the company had not had enough time to carry out full due diligence, and that once it had assumed control, unforeseen circumstances emerged that meant Summerhall had to close.
"We tried our very best," said Mr O'Hare. "It is very regrettable that jobs have been lost. We are working with the liquidator to finish the work in progress."
Staff were told of the job losses only two days before Christmas.
