Simclar Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Simclar Group are a collection of companies owned by Sam Russell.

In January 2007 the group closed its Kilwinning and Irvine plants amid allegations of asset stripping and abuse of workers rights.[1]

Workers occupied the group's premises at Kilwinning and picketed the Irvine plant in an attempt to stop the asset stripping, but were unsuccessful. In August 2007, the workers were awarded approximately £800,000 in compensation for breaches of employment law by the Simclar Group.[2]
