Livingston MP Welcomes Major Sky Investment in Livingston, Backing Jobs and Local Economy
Gregor Poynton MP has welcomed confirmation of a major new investment by Sky to transform its Livingston campus, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the Livingston constituency and supporting thousands of local jobs.

“Sky has a long-standing presence in the Livingston constituency, and this announcement demonstrates its continued dedication to its employees and to serving customers across Livingston and wider Scotland.
“This investment sends a strong signal about confidence in our local workforce and the future of this area.
