Description

Lending company Provident has announced plans to cut 493 jobs. The company which has its headquarters in Yorkshire has said that the job losses will be spread over offices across the country. The job roles at risk include administrative clerks and their managers, and front-line managers. The job losses are a result of a new technology which has allowed the company to move from paper-based systems. The jobs are currently under consultation and the final number of redundancies will be confirmed when this has concluded.
