Description
The banking group Lloyds Bank Spain has presented a redundancy programme that affects 189 employees throughout Spain (40% of its workforce). The measure will have the greatest impact in Catalonia, where the proposal is to lay off 27 of its 37 employees - that is, 73% of the staff. All in all, this restructuring programme will affect 142 Lloyds Bank staff as well as 47 staff at Halifax, which was acquired at the beginning of this year.
