ACE Winches plans redundancies as part of company restructure

ACE Winches has said that it is planning to make more than a dozen redundancies as part of a business restructure.

In a statement released on Tuesday a company spokesperson said: "ACE Winches has announced a restructure as the business transitions itself to address new markets and new geographies to compete within the changing energy sector.

"The restructure will provide a strong platform for the future of ACE Winches.

"However, as part of this process, we must regrettably consider potential redundancies.

"This decision has not been taken lightly.

"We are proposing to make approximately 16 positions redundant across several departments at our global headquarters in Turriff, Aberdeenshire.

"We currently employ 155 people at this location.

"At the moment, our proposals are only at a formative stage, and we will now begin a process of consultation.

"The process will be fair and transparent and will of course comply fully with company policy and UK Employment Law. "
