Housebuilder Bellway is consulting on a round of redundancies, with up to 90 jobs at risk
Newcastle-based Bellway is facing a round of redundancies as they consult on the closure of two divisions.
As the slump in house building continues and administrations are rife, Bellway is considering shuttering the London Partnerships and South Midlands divisions.
The company, which employs around 3,000 employees and sold 11,198 homes in 2022, has confirmed to Sky News that up to 90 jobs are at risk.
Redundancies are possible across the business
A Bellway company statement said: “In response to current market conditions which have caused a slowdown in the sales market and a reduced output for house building, we have today announced proposals to make some structural changes across our business.
“This includes the potential closure of two of our operating divisions, with sites being transferred to other divisions, a reduction in capacity in a third division and a limited number of role reductions across the business.
“A process of consulting with those potentially impacted has begun today.”
