Borough Council Responds to Pindar Redundancies

Scarborough Borough Council says it will work with partners to help those affected by the closure of the Pindar print company.

Mike Greene, Scarborough Borough Council chief executive, said:

"The closure of Pindar, a company with a long and illustrious history of employment in Scarborough, is a huge blow for the town. It is devastating for all those who worked there and have sadly lost their jobs this week.

"In the coming days, weeks and months, our economic development team will work with partners to support those who have been made redundant by offering advice and connecting people to other organisations that will be able to help them through these difficult times."

The council say that former Pindar workers who are now out of work, may be able to get free help, support, advice and training from the council's Advantage Coast programme partners, which include organisations such as Futureworks, Sparks, More for Eastfield, The Opportunity Centre and the Skills Village.

The council have created a page containing links and contact information which can be found at https://www.scarborough.gov.uk/latest-news/response-closure-pindar

Pindar's parent company, The YM Group, entered administration yesterday with over 500 staff made redundant.
