Concerns grow over status of jobs at M&G Kildean office amid India consultation

Must read

The future of staff based at the M&G offices at Kildean in Stirling is up in the air after a consultation began over cuts to around 70 roles.

The proposals have been launched by third-party firm Diligenta, who employ a number of staff at the site – and could see a total of 71 jobs being relocated to India.




Stirling MSP Evelyn Tweed has raised concerns over the move and has spoken to representatives from both M&G and Diligenta to ensure that support is put in place for those set to be affected.

Ms Tweed said: “I have recently been informed that Diligenta has announced proposals to cut a significant number of its non-customer facing roles based at the M&G office in Kildean.

“This will be concerning news for the 71 workers and their families who may be significantly impacted by this.

“I have since spoken with M&G to express my disappoinment at this decision, and it is my understanding that Diligenta is putting support in place for those facing redundancy.

“I will remain in direct contact with M&G about how these individuals are being supported, and have also reached out to Skills Development Scotland to see what extra support is available to those affected.

“My thoughts go out to everyone affected and my constituency office stands ready to help any constituent seeking advice.”
