Correction Required to Geon/Blue Star Group Story

18 March, 2013

Correction Required to Geon/Blue Star Group Story

The receivers of GEON, not Blue Star Group, were responsible for terminating jobs at various GEON sites around the country.

Blue Star Group has saved 88 permanent jobs including 38 at Kiwi Labels and 50 at GEON’s Highbrook and Napier sites. Additionally, Blue Star has provided 38 former GEON employees with short term contracts which may eventually become longer term employment.

Any redundancy entitlements, except for those 88 saved jobs, are the responsibility of the receiver and not Blue Star Group.
