A Balfour Beatty spokesman told Construction Enquirer: “Due to a significant downturn in activity levels Mansell has put forward a proposal to close its Hall and Tawse Joinery workshop located in Aberdeen.
“Mansell is currently undertaking a consultation with employees regarding this proposal so it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”
