Statement on Norwich Union job losses from Lib Dem leader
Thu 31st Jul 2008
This is very disappointing news for York, and the council will be seeking to find out from Norwich Union the reasons behind why so many jobs are being outsourced from the city. Clearly for many hundreds of York residents this will now become an anxious period for them and I appreciate the human cost that news like this has on people. I have spoken with Carole Jones, Human Resources Director at Norwich Union to express my concerns on behalf of the city, and together with the council's Economic Development managers I have arranged to quickly meet with Directors at Norwich Union to understand their new long term plans for York.
