Fears are growing over the future of jobs at the Oxfordshire office of troubled building firm Rok after the administrator announced further redundancies.
PricwaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which was appointed as administrator last week, yesterday axed 1800 workers at the company bringing the total job losses to about 2,600.
Seventeen staff are employed at the Eynsham office of the firm which called in PwC last week after it fell into difficulties in meeting its "financial obligations". Only 650 staff remain at the firm nationally.
The cuts come from the closure of the firm's maintenance and improvements division in the UK and Rok's construction business in Scotland.
Tonight, a PwC spokesman could not confirm whether any or the Oxfordshire office staff had been made redundant.
