Highly unlikely. To expect personnel to transfer to HMCG and relocate from Moray to the (vastly more expensive) south coast for the salaries that are on offer means this is not a realistic scenario. They'll be on their own post-transition, fingers crossed they'll recruit some high calibre people from the local catchment area.
I beg to disagree. I've heard that there is a handful of staff willing to relocate and continue with civvy ARCC. At least that's what the story was yesterday when I was on the phone to the ARCC.
The ARCC was always going to move.
Exactly, this has come as no surprise to those in the industry. It has been talked about for the past 2 years if not more. Suitable transition plans and staff transitions have been in discussion for at least the last 6 months.
Typical politics and press trying to cast their own views on things and stir everything.
