Bovis Homes trimming staff by a further 200

Bovis Homes has lined up a further 200 job losses in a second round of streamlining.

A review back in June resulted in:

• restructuring the company from five regions to four;
• 400 job losses

A spokeswoman commented today: “In light of the current market conditions Bovis Homes is currently undertaking a staff consultation to rationalise further.

“The process began on November 25 and will take place throughout December.”

The signs are that the slimming-down will be completed by the end of 2008.

At this stage the Company cannot comment further until the consultation has been concluded.

The move back in June brought staff numbers down from 1,000 to 600.
