Merger means jobs go

Restructuring which followed the linking of Williams & Phoa with Grey Matter has led to two members of staff being made redundant.

The two sister companies share the same offices, although a spokeswoman says they have not been fully merged.

‘Because we are linked there have been areas of duplication, and regrettably this has meant redundancy for one designer and one of our administrative staff,’ she says. ‘This is a result of restructuring, not of curtailment of our business.’
