Brightwater reviewing Christchurch operationFriday 7 Jun 2013 Engineering company Brightwater, which employs over 230 people throughout New Zealand and Australia, advised staff last week at its Christchurch manufacturing branch that it was commencing consultation over a proposal to close the branch, potentially affecting up to 25 jobs.Brightwater CEO David McGregor said the reason behind the proposal was due to the inability of the Christchurch operation to achieve profitability. “Despite the recent success within our Australasian engineering projects business, profitability in our manufacturing business has remained a challenge and we simply must take steps to address this.” Brightwater’s Christchurch branch currently manufactures the company’s range of mobile Forestry Cable Logging machines. Under the proposed change Brightwater would manufacture all future machines through its Nelson branch in order to reduce costs, making the manufacturing business more viable. More >> |
