Meeting over Hall and Tawse factory in Aberdeen 'offers hope'
A union hopes a long-established Aberdeen joinery workshop which is threatened with closure can be sold as a going concern.
The 62 staff at the Hall and Tawse factory in Granitehill Road have been told it is to shut.
Owner Balfour Beatty has blamed a significant downturn in activity for the decision.
The construction union Ucatt held talks with management on Tuesday. A 30-day consultation is under way.
The Hall and Tawse workshop has been on the same site since it was founded in 1880.
