Carillion worker 'caught in vortex' faces deportation

The collapse of mega-employer Carillion has left one individual facing deportation - shining a light on the UK’s hostile employment laws at a time when the employment market is under pressure.

The individual involved worked as an Assistant Facilities Manager before the company went bust in January. Luckily, he was able to find work with another private company.

However, officials are now claiming that he cannot work as his visa cannot be transferred to his new employers from Carillion, due to the latter being in liquidation.

As a result, in April, the manager was sent a “notice of curtailment” telling him to make arrangements to leave the UK. His only alternatives are to re-apply for his own job or find work with another company wiling to sponsor his visa.
