M&D's to re-open when lockdown is eased after buyer found

Popular theme park M&D's will re-open fully after lockdown after they announced they have been bought out of administration and have a new management team.

They announced on Facebook on 17 March that they were forced to lay off staff due to a downturn in business due to COVID-19.

They then further announced on 23 April that they had went into administration, appointing Michelle Elliot and Stuart Robb of Leonard Curtis as administrators.

This meant that had to make all 165 employees redundant.

However, todays post showed signs of a brighter future as the company looks to make it out of lockdown.

They posted: "To all of our loyal and valued customers,We are delighted to announce that Scotland’s Theme Park has been bought out of administration and has new management in place.

"In line with Scottish Government guidelines, we are working hard behind the scenes to be able to reopen Scotland's Theme Park as well as Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, and Amazonia when restrictions have been lifted.

"We are working within the physical distancing guidelines as outlined by the Scottish Government, as well as introducing additional hand sanitising stations located throughout the park and Amazonia and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

"There will be some modifications when you come back to visit us and we’d ask that you bear with us during this period of change and adjustment to allow us to give you the fantastic day out you would usually experience at Scotland’s Theme Park."

As of yet, there is no news whether old employees will have their jobs back, and no news of when the park is expected to open back up for operation.
