Statement by Richard Cairns, TUV Assembly Candidate for South Antrim
“I am most disappointed for the employees of Fujitsu based in Antrim at the sudden announcement that the company is ceasing production at their Antrim site.
“My thoughts will be with the employees and their families over the coming months as they consider their options for the future.
“Fujitsu are a multi national company, and their commitment to Antrim over the years has been most valued. Therefore, it is most surprising that they have taken this decision so suddenly.
“I would ask that they must now focus on the welfare and future employability of the Antrim workforce – ensuring the redundancy packages are fitting and that they are prepared for reenter the job market.”
