Hundreds lose jobs after firm collapses

More than 400 workers are to lose their jobs after a vehicle firm stopped trading in North Lanarkshire.

Administrators Ernst and Young said 342 employees had been made redundant at Tom Vehicle Rental and Caledonian Truck and Van Ltd at 11 sites across Scotland and England.

They are confident they will sell the business and assets of a third subsidiary, Alistair Fleming Limited, based in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire.

That sale will see its 21 employees transferred to the new business.
