At least 40 jobs lost as Acheson Construction Limited enters administration
We are unfortunately reading reports that the Dorset-based construction firm, Acheson Construction Limited, has entered administration, resulting in the loss of at least 40 jobs. Richard Lewis and Alistair Wardell of Grant Thornton have been appointed as joint administrators.
Whilst it is reported that no immediate redundancies have been made, administrators may still make redundancies without the appropriate warning or any consultation process. If there was a failure to follow a consultation process, this could lead to employees being able to claim compensation from an Employment Tribunal of up to 90 days’ pay. Such a claim could be pursued if:
- 20 or more people were made redundant at the same workplace; and
- There was no information and consultation process, or it wasn’t carried out correctly prior to making redundancies.
If you have been made redundant and need advice, contact our employment team confidentially now for more information.

There are strict Tribunal deadlines within which to pursue these claims, so you mustn’t delay if you believe you may be affected.
