Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Constitution Derek Mackay during a visit to Michelin's Dundee tyre factory after the company announced plans to close the site yesterday
TYRE bosses have given Scottish Finance Secretary Derek Mackay until the end of the month to present a proposal to save Dundee’s Michelin factory.
Mr Mackay said today that the company had agreed to give him a hearing “in about three weeks’ time” to make the case for an alternative to closure.
It was announced earlier this week that the Dundee site, which employs 845 workers, will close by mid-2020.
