Job losses at fishing firm

Friday, June 13, 2008, 14:31

HIGHER fuel prices have forced a Newlyn fishing firm to make 16 of its staff redundant.

W Stevenson & Sons said the redundancies were regrettable and would affect all areas of business.

A press release stated that while the company is committed to continue to play a major role, the redundancies were necessary to safeguard the jobs of the remaining employees and fishermen.

Representatives from the Newlyn fishing industry are in a meeting with the Marine Fisheries Agency this afternoon to discuss the future of the fishing port.
