Contour cuts

Contour Premium Aircraft Seating have announced they will be making up to forty people redundant at it's plant in Llantarnam, near Cwmbran.

Despite the company proposing to use compulsory, rather than voluntary redundancies, MD Mark Crompton said “It is our aim to mitigate the impact of this action on our employees as much as possible during the forthcoming consultation period.”

Gordon Brown called the company "a success" when he visited during last month's whistle stop tour of the region.
