THE creation of new roles at Rosyth’s green freeport is expected to have a “ripple effect” across the Fife labour market.

The Forth was one of two winning bids north of the border, the other is at Inverness and Cromarty Firth, jointly selected by the Scottish and UK governments to become special economic zones which will offer tax breaks and low tariffs to businesses.

A range of vacancies are currently available to jobseekers in Dunfermline and West Fife, though the potential of 7,000 new ‘green’ positions between Rosyth and Burntisland, as previously reported by the Press, could boost the market across the Kingdom.
