ALL members of staff at a Scottish building firm have been made redundant after the firm went into administration.
The workers of Logie Glazing and Building Services are set to lose their jobs after the long-established firm announced its collapse.
Based in Dundee, the firm confirmed 16 jobs will be lost after it faced cashflow challenges.
The business, which has been operating for more than 50 years, revealed it had suffered from skyrocketing costs in the construction sector.

The Courier reports that current inflation has led to pressure on profit margins.
However, it was unable to resolve its financial difficulties despite trying to find alternative sources of income.
The firm worked for both private and public sector clients across Tayside and Fife.
Joint administrators Blair Nimmo and Geoff Jacobs from Interpath Advisory announced the news on Thursday.
They added that they are working with staff and offering them support.
Speaking to The Courier, Nimmo said: “Logie Glazing was a very-well established business.
“Like many in the sector and despite the director’s best efforts, was unable to withstand what continues to be a very challenging trading environment.”

Jacobs added: “We will be providing support to those employees who have been made redundant, including providing them with the information required to make claims from the Redundancy Payments Service.
“Any parties who have an interest in the company’s business and assets should contact the administrators as soon as possible.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
