Almost all staff to go at Bournemouth’s Palmair
24.11.10
Most of the staff at Bournemouth-based tour operator Palmair, which has offered holidays from Bournemouth Airport since 1958, are facing redundancy following an announcement the company is scaling back its holiday operations, the Daily Echo reports. It says that up to 28 of the company's 31 staff could lose their jobs.
A 'source' told the Daily Echo that out of 31 Palmair staff, only 3 are likely to remain in employment. Meetings took place last week as part of the redundancy process, which will include cabin crew and the reservations team.
At the time of the announcement last month the company, which was established by the late Peter Bath in 1958, said they hoped to minimise any redundancies by absorbing some employees into the 400-strong workforce of parent company, Bath Travel. But according to the newspaper's 'sources' that is now not the case. Managing director David Skillicorn told the Echo that he did not wish to comment.
