Wood Free Uncoated Paper's New Presentation
M-real has released a new swatch book, case study and product folder for its Tauro range of wood free, white uncoated paper.
As a result, the company is commencing a redundancy consultation process with its UK sales and marketing, customer services and technical services functions, based at Sittingbourne and M-real's New Thames Mill at Kemsley.
Currently the Sittingbourne Mill operations account for approximately 40 per cent of the workload of those operations and, should the closure of Sittingbourne Mill be confirmed, this would have a significant impact on them and M-real's future staffing requirements.
M-real proposes to restructure and streamline its UK commercial printing business area sales and marketing, customer services and technical services functions.
At this stage the proposals are still subject to consultation but the reorganisation could result in the loss of approximately 17 jobs.
The company said it is hoped, however, that some of those whose jobs may cease can be redeployed in to new roles being created.
The company will now enter in to a full and thorough consultation process with affected employees so that all the issues around the proposals can be fully and properly explored.
