Refinery workers seek Scottish Power jobs after plea in Record.. and one's already been signed up

- DAN VEVERS

ENERGY giant Scottish Power has been "overwhelmed" by the response from Grangemouth workers to a Daily Record report urging them to apply for jobs at the firm.

Hundreds of staff facing redundancy at Scotland's last oil refinery were thrown the jobs lifeline this month.

We revealed Scottish Power, which has its HQ in Glasgow, is seeking to recruit 1000 people next year as it ramps up investment in its electricity networks.

And we reported that the firm wanted under-threat workers at Petroineos's Grangemouth plant to get in touch, saying they have the skills they're looking for.

It said it could also help find careers for those whose jobs were axed by construction giant ISG after it fell into administration in September.
