Remploy Employment Services to be privatised

[annie]

Remploy, which once ran factories employing disabled people, is to be privatised, Employment Minister Esther McVey has announced.

The body is currently owned by the government and aims to support disabled people entering mainstream jobs working alongside non-disabled colleagues.

Ms McVey said "a significant stake" would be offered for sale to investors.

The result would be a joint venture with employees also holding "an interest" in the company, she said.
