Receiver to be appointed at Ellickson

A RECEIVER will be appointed today to Waterford firm Ellickson Engineering, which ceased trading last week.

Pat Kavanagh of the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU) said staff were informed of the situation by a one-line email from the company and have to date not meet with the more than 60 staff affected.

Fears have been growing for the jobs over the past week as there were signals from the company that an examiner may have to be appointed.
