Emma Bridgewater has entered into consultations with employees at its factory and London offices as it seeks to make over 30 redundancies.
The move, as well as the commencement of a 13-week period of a four-day working week for its factory, with no production on Mondays, comes as the business faces up to rising costs and despite a strong Christmas trading period. The business employs c.400 staff spread across its factory, retail outlets and offices.
CEO Julia Cove-Smith said: “Very regretfully, this change to our production pattern, and adjustments in supporting departments, will have an impact on our staffing levels. We understand this is difficult news for our people to hear, therefore our key priority at this time is to support all our staff throughout this period and we remain committed to continuing to communicate directly and transparently with them.”
