More Nairn jobs under threat - HAEL seeks investment

More evidence of the recession hitting the Highlands and with the local government, health board and quango pay-offs to come, plus the closure of Kinloss, 2011 will be a challenging year for the community to say the least.
"About 30 staff have gone from Hael’s Nairn base over the past year, leaving only eight.
Owner Jimmy Ferguson says if a new investor doesn’t appear then the rest of the company will close in the near future.
The firm deals with small scale renewable energy installations and domestic energy efficient heating systems like underfloor heating, biomass stoves and ground source heat pumps."
