Printworks expansion protects 100 jobs

A printworks expansion project costing Newsquest and its Herald publishers four million pounds is expected to protect more than 100 jobs, AllmediaScotland reported Friday.

The investment in the Cambuslang, Scotland plant will go to two new tower print units and revamping a third tower, which enables the plant to produce full-colour, 128-page tabloid-sized newspapers for Newsquest rival Associated Newspapers.
