MORE than 80 jobs have been lost at a Fife-based manufacturing company after the announcement that bus firm Alexander Dennis could move its operations south of the border.

Greenfold Systems, in Dunfermline, built parts for buses, with the Falkirk-based company one of its major customers.

But on Thursday administrators were called in, and 81 of the 90 jobs at the company axed, with the remaining staff kept on temporarily.

Alexander Dennis announced last month the launch of a consultation which could eventually see 400 jobs lost in the area if the company’s operations were consolidated into a single site in Yorkshire.
