Over 900 jobs lost at solar energy firm

A Leicester-based solar energy firm that employs 1,165 people across the UK has called in administrators and is likely to render over 900 members of staff jobless, a news report has been able to reveal.

The Mark Group went under and Deloitte were appointed as administrators on 07 October.

In a statement, the company said: “This decision has not been taken lightly but the ongoing losses of the business meant it was our only option.

“The turnaround plan, which was already underway, focused on solar PV but the Government’s recent policy announcements mean this is no longer viable.

“Mark Group is now in the hands of administrators who are working to secure an urgent sale of the ongoing business.”

Every company, regardless of its size and scope, that undergoes such massive changes in its organizational structure should first and foremost implement a very solid and reliable workforce management system, capable of coping with the challenges of adding and removing so many employees from the firm’s ranks.
