Scottish housebuilder axes more than 20 jobs as employees face ‘worry and uncertainty'
It is the second time in two years the firm has been forced to make redundancies JOBS AT RISK Scottish housebuilder axes more than 20 jobs as employees face 'worry and uncertainty' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTTISH housebuilding firm is set to axe more than 20 jobs as its employees face "worry and uncertainty". Scotia Homes, based in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, announced it will make the cuts following £2.5million in pre-tax losses. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Scotia Homes announced that it is set to axe up to 25 jobs Credit: Alamy The firm has built homes across northeast Scotland and beyond for over three decades and currently employs 168 people. This is the second time in two years Scotia Homes has been forced to make redundancies. Joint managing director Richard Begbie said the decision to downsize was in response to "current market conditions". Up to 25 jobs are under threat - the majority of which will be made at head office. Mr Begbie told The Press and Journal: "As widely reported, the housebuilding sector is currently facing significant challenges due to a range of external factors. "In response to these market conditions, we are taking proactive steps to ensure the continued strength of our business. "As part of this strategy, we are proposing changes to our workforce structure. We deeply value the contributions of our team, and this decision has not been made lightly. "Scotia Homes remains dedicated to delivering quality homes and building vibrant communities, and these changes will help position us for future growth and continued success in a rapidly evolving market. "It is anticipated that those affected by redundancy will be less than 25 employees." Gordon and Buchan Tory MP Harriet Cross said: "I'm deeply concerned by these redundancies at Scotia Homes and the impact this could have on construction across the north-east. Homebase is set to close ten of its stores, which will soon be taken over by a major supermarket chain "More immediately, this announcement will bring worry and uncertainty for the employees at Scotia whose jobs are at risk, and I hold them in my thoughts at this time. "As one of the biggest house builders in the region, this announcement underlines the significant issues facing the sector, with challenging market conditions causing financial difficulties. "Towns such as Ellon rely on the employment of companies such as Scotia and a local firm making cutbacks like this is a real blow to the area. "I will now be seeking a meeting with the company to discuss this decision and what actions can be taken to mitigate any future job losses.'

Brit who axed pensioner to death learns fate after claiming he ‘accidentally' killed victim who was ‘trying to rape him'
AXE KILLER Brit who axed pensioner to death learns fate after claiming he 'accidentally' killed victim who was 'trying to rape him' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Brit who axed a pensioner to death has learnt his fate after claiming he "accidentally" killed his victim who was "trying to rape him". Garo Jlitakryan, 32, admitted to attacking the 75-year-old inside the OAP's own home in Finland but claimed it was an act of self defence in court. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The Brit who axed a pensioner to death has learnt his fate 4 Garo Jlitakryan, 32, admitted to attacking the 75-year-old 4 He has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a court in Finland He has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a court in Finland. The deadly fight took place in a flat in Seinajoki, western Finland, on July 29, last year, reports Finnish newspaper Iltalehti. A court previously heard how the elderly victim invited the cyclist back to his home after the pair met at a spa a day earlier. The Brit was bought a phone by his new friend as they made their way back to the flat, according to local reports. He later told investigators the pensioner said he "owed him a favour" after opening up the present. The cyclist refused but claimed he believed the man was referring to sexual acts. South Ostrobothnia District Court was then told the Brit took a short nap but when he woke up he "was tied up with bandages" and "couldn't move properly". The Brit alleged he was raped on the bed after waking up. Jlitakryan pleaded guilty to manslaughter, Southern Finland Newspapers reports, but cops found no evidence of illicit substances or materials that the pensioner victim could use to restrain the aggressor. Investigators also said the man was attacked as he was lying in bed, with crime scene images showing blood splattered up the walls. Prosecutors insisted on a 10-year sentence for the Brit after jurors found him to be culpable of murder, the news site added. The judge in the South Ostrobothnia court gave him 12 years today. Early on in the trial, Jlitakryan said he had been on a charity ride across Europe for the Help for Heroes charity. When he completed the bike ride, the Londoner said he met the pensioner at a spa in the town of Kauhava. He claimed the old man invited him back to his home and offered him work. Jlitakryan said in the trial: "He told me that if I helped him, he could give me sexual favours, but I didn't want sexual favours. I just wanted to rest and charge my phone. "We ate lunch together, which tasted terrible, then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was tied with bandages, I couldn't move properly. "He then committed sexual acts on me and I couldn't escape. The ordeal was horrible. When it was over, he rolled next to me. "Then he started snoring and I decided to escape. I went to the kitchen and cut my ties there."
