24 Feb 12 Administrators for building services contractor MJN Colston have laid off 148 employees but kept on approximately 270 in the hope of finding a buyer quickly.

MJN Colston went into administration yesterday following a strategic review of its financial position.

In a statement, joint administrators Daniel Butters and Matt Cowlishaw from Deloittes said: "Regrettably, it has been necessary to make 148 employees redundant.

"Our appointment follows a strategic review of MJN Colston Limited's financial position.
