Firm to supply workers to Russia

A Scottish recruitment company specialising in the engineering sector has won a multi-million pound contract to supply workers to Russia.

Inverness-based Orion Group said the deal would be worth $150m (£76m) over three years.

It plans to provide 200 staff - mostly drawn from the Highland and Grampian areas - to the Sakhalin Island oil and gas development.

Shell and Gazprom are shareholders in Orion's client Sakhalin Energy.
