Summary
Engineering giant Wallace McDowall, with 60 years of history and 200 jobs at stake, has entered administration — a devastating blow for Prestwick Airport and its workforce. Once rooted in agriculture, the firm evolved into a key player in engineering and fabrication, serving automotive and oil & gas sectors while championing employee growth and sustainability goals. It’s part of a troubling trend: just this month, AIM Engineering and Hescott Engineering also collapsed, adding 93 more job losses. Tough market conditions and lost major clients are crushing the sector, leaving workers in limbo amid a wave of industrial uncertainty.
