11 Jobs To Go At Energy Company

11 Jobs To Go At Energy Company
By Fri, 13 July 2012 7:02AM

11 jobs have been lost on the Isle of Wight following the closure of an energy company's distribution centre.

The Mark Group, which installs cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and a range of solar hot water and electricity systems, says its base on the Island "will be closing next month (August 2012) and unfortunately this will mean the loss of 11 jobs locally".

"Decision not easy"

A spokesperson from the company added, "The decision to close the branch was not an easy one but coincides with the lease expiring on the Company's base at Dodnor Industrial Estate."

The Mark Group says it will continue to install energy saving measures on the Island but will work from its Fareham branch.

All Isle of Wight employees have been given the option of working for the Company elsewhere.
