Just in case the link dies:Buyout saves freezer firm jobs

Staff at a collapsed freezer company have been told their jobs are safe after a buyer was found for the firm.
The 94 employees at the former Norfrost Limited in Caithness will keep their jobs, after administrators sold the business to transport and distribution company John G Russell (Transport) Ltd.
It will continue to operate from its current site at Castletown, near Thurso, under the name of Icetech Freezers Ltd.
Blair Nimmo, joint administrator at KPMG, said: "I am delighted that we have managed to sell the business as a going concern.
"Not only has this saved all 94 jobs but the sale also ensures that existing customers will continue to be serviced and that suppliers will have ongoing business.
"The business is a crucial part of the Highland economy and a key employer in the local area, so this represents a fantastic result.
"We wish them every success in the future."
Norfrost, which had an annual turnover of £13 million last year, announced it was going into administration in May due to poor sales.
Chairman of John G Russell (Transport) Ltd, John Russell, said: "I am pleased that we have managed to reach a positive outcome after what has been a difficult few months.
"The loyalty and professionalism shown by management, staff, customers and suppliers has been very encouraging, and I am confident we shall continue to build on our existing customer base and production efficiency."

I see the new firm has qualified for a £500,000 grant from C.A.S.E.
