City & Guilds scraps mass redundancies and offshoring UK jobs to Greece

City & Guilds has cancelled plans for mass compulsory redundancies and the offshoring of approximately 400 UK jobs to Greece. These proposed cuts were part of a £22 million cost-saving initiative following the acquisition of the charity's training and awards business by PeopleCert in October. The initial report detailing these plans emerged in December. The vocational training body's decision to abandon these redundancies signifies a shift away from the cost-cutting measures that were planned after the acquisition by the Greek-owned company, PeopleCert.
