A CONSTRUCTION firm based in Perth and Kinross has appointed administrators with 66 jobs lost.
Hadden Construction announced it appointed Alvarez & Marsal as administrators on Tuesday, September 10, with its 66 members of staff being made redundant.
It cited inflation in materials prices, rising labour costs and supply chain interruptions as the main reasons for its closure.

The building contractor worked on projects ranging from residential developments to commercial and public sector buildings, including schools and healthcare facilities.
The building firm, headquartered near Auchterarder, confirmed work across its sites will cease, pending a review of works in progress.
Reportedly ongoing projects include new affordable housing in Newtyle, supported living apartments in Gaberston, the University of Stirling's Muirhead House refurbishment, the Ferguson Veterinary Clinic in Bankhead and the Edward Lawson Centre in Wishaw.
Ben Cairns, managing director at Alvarez & Marsal, said: “Like other contractors, Hadden Construction has been battling a number of headwinds in recent years, including inflated materials prices, rising labour costs and supply chain interruptions.
"As administrators, we will seek an orderly wind down of the operations and will welcome any investor interest in the company’s assets.
“We understand that today’s news is unsettling for the company’s employees and will be doing all we can to support them over the weeks ahead.”
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!
