Workers look on from a viewing platform as work continues on wind turbine jackets Burntisland Fabrications Ltd (BiFab) in Methil in Fife in November 2017
TRADE unions and politicians have welcomed the news that nearly 300 jobs are to be created at a bought-out yard in Fife for the manufacture of wind-turbine foundations.
Burntisland Fabrications (BiFab), which has yards in Burntisland and Methil in Fife as well as one on the Isle of Lewis, went into administration at the end of last year after Scottish government ministers ruled out nationalising the company.
Harland and Wolff took over the Methil and Lewis sites in February following an £850,000 deal.
