75 jobs expected to go at Shopacheck

The board of sub-prime lender Cattles has announced proposed changes in the organisation of its Shopacheck business.

As part of a review aimed at driving business growth, the management of Shopacheck has decided it can remove "certain layers of management and support functions".

In a statement, Batley-based Cattles said: "Shopacheck will now enter into a consultation process with staff affected by the proposals, of whom 290 will today receive notice that they are at risk of redundancy.

"It is anticipated that only 75 positions will be lost, as people will be offered new roles within a flatter organisational structure that brings Shopacheck closer to its customer base."
