JeCC,Chairman Adrian De Gruchy commented:
“We are saddened by the news about Mitchell Building Contractors having to cease trading with immediate effect and the impact this has on their staff, sub-contractors and suppliers.
This unfortunate news follows the recent lauch of the “Island Construction and Engineering (ICE) programme”, which should give businesses some confidence that there is a proposed pipeline of projects and enabling works to allow other developments to commence.
Despite recent business closures, the industry has a wide range of professional tradespeople, associated suppliers and consultants, with good long term career prospects. We will continue to work on site ready projects of all sizes and for private and public sector clients, to #GetJerseyBuilding again.”
