Stewart Milne Timber Systems is planning to make job cuts across its business.

Up to 66 roles are “at risk”, with consultation being held on proposed redundancies.

“The ongoing recession and overall reduction in housing demand has continued to impact on our business,” said the company.

“As a result, we regret that a number of roles within Stewart Milne Timber Systems have been put at risk of redundancy. This is a result of lower levels of operational activity across our main market sectors.

“While we have tried as far as possible to minimise the effects of the recession on our staff, required business levels cannot be maintained in the current economic climate.”

Jobs at risk range from the Witney operation, to Aberdeen and Glasgow.

“The employees affected come from a combination of departments. Enhanced redundancy packages and a full Employee Assistance Programme is being provided to those affected. No other division within the Stewart Milne Group is affected.”
