Staff at Gurit, a global manufacturing company based in Newport on the Isle of Wight, were informed last week that job losses could be forthcoming.
There were around 90 job losses in February this year due to what Gurit described as, “the end of a contract for manually manufactured automotive parts”.
Gurit: “Adapting our operational base”
A spokesperson for Gurit told OnTheWight this morning (Wednesday),
“It is correct that we have started a period of consultation.
“The proposed staffing changes are aimed at adapting our operational base and have the potential to impact less than 20 employees at Gurit (UK) Ltd.”
They went on to confirm,
“There is no correlation between the current proposed staffing changes in the UK and the business activities in Hungary. as they relate to two completely different areas of our business.”
Our thoughts are with those affected.
