Staff cut as Jersey shuts London office
Jersey Tourism is making two staff redundant with the closure of its London office.
It will shut in September with the ending of a lease on the premises in Victoria.
A statement said: “Regrettably this will mean that two members of the London-based staff have been offered – and have accepted – redundancy payments and support. They will be leaving when the office closes in September.”
Director of tourism and marketing David de Carteret said: “This is in no way a reflection upon the excellent work conducted by our team in London, who over the years, have been recognised as highly professional and effective.
“But, the nature of the business has changed and our operation needs to reflect the trends impacting on all sectors of the tourism market. The industry is becoming ever more competitive, making cost reduction, essential.”
The organisation said UK sales manager Robin Segal and UK sales executive Dawn Pinson will continue in their roles promoting Jersey to the travel industry in the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.
The body said that trade activity was estimated to be worth £80 million a year and “will remain a vital part of Jersey Tourism’s marketing effort”.
