Concerns Raised After Aerospace Firm Enters Administration

Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney has raised concerns over news that an aerospace firm in L'Derry has gone into administration.

Schivo NI employs 83 people and bought over Maydown Precision Engineering.

Mr McCartney said: "Reports that administrators have been called in at Derry-based firm, Schivo, is very concerning, particularly for the employees and their families. 

"This firm employs more than 80 people in the city and no doubt this announcement will have created fear and uncertainty. 

"I will be in contact with the firm to discuss the current situation and to ensure the rights and entitlements of workers are respected. 

"It is important that management at the company engage fully with workers and trade unions in the time ahead and that staff are kept up to date of all developments."
