34 jobs go at C&C

The C&C Group has announced a workforce reduction of 34 across the island of Ireland, the majority of which have been through voluntary redundancies over the  past few months, stated the company recently.

The redundancies affect C&C’s workforce through its Bulmers Ireland company here and Tennent’s in NI.

“C&C Group continues to be severely impacted by Covid-19 and the prolonged closure of the hospitality industry,” Tom McCusker, Managing Director of C&C Group Ireland, told RTE, “To streamline the business and align our cost base to this challenging reality we took the difficult decision to reduce our commercial and distribution teams across the island of Ireland.”

He added that there are no further redundancies planned in Ireland but warned, “As this crisis evolves we continue to review our operations to ensure we’re positioned to overcome the current challenges and primed for the eventual reopening of the hospitality industry.”
