Confusion continues over the status of December payments for subcontractors at Aggregate Industries after one contractor revealed he would now receive part of the money he is owed.
Last week it emerged that subcontractors at the construction and building materials supplier would not be paid in December (for work conducted in September) and some operators were still awaiting payments that should have been made in November.
However, one subcontractor based in the North-East, tells CM he has been told he will receive everything owed in December "less £1,000".
"It's not fantastic, but we are relieved. But we have still not seen anything in writing and I won't believe it until I see it in my account on 11 December," he says.
But other subcontractors in the UK have not received similar guarantees and say that their contact with Aggregate Industries has turned into silence.
One operator in mid-Wales says more than two weeks after he only received part-payment for work on 10 November, he has not heard "anything at all" from the firm.
Another operator in the North-West says he received no payment for November: "The last payment I had was on 10 October for work done in August. Aggregate Industries appears to have been selective about who it has and has not paid. My contact in its transport office does not know anything about it."
Aggregate Industries was unavailable for comment.
