WELCOME FOR GSK ASSURANCE.

Angus MP Mike Weir has welcomed the assurance he has received from GSK that the Montrose facility will not be affected by the restructuring proposals announced by the company.

There has been some concern locally that the site could be affected since rumours of the changes began circulating. Mr Weir has been assured by the company that Montrose will not be affected.

Commenting he said

“The Montrose site remains a vital part of our local economy. Although it has had its ups and downs over the last few years its future now seems assured.”

“The recent investment in the site and the opening, by the First Minister, of the extension shows that the company continues to view Montrose as an integral part of its future strategy.”
