Kilkenny-based nutrition company Glanbia has announced that up to 60 jobs could go in a restructuring of the business in Ireland.
The company, which has headquarter offices on the city's ringroad, says that while the exact figure is not yet known, the move comes following "significant change over the past number of years including the reshaping of our global footprint."
In a statement the company added: "it is anticipated that up to 60 roles in Ireland will be impacted on a phased basis in 2025." Areas affected will be HR, IT and finance services.
"To ensure that we are prepared for our next stage of growth and to enhance how we serve the needs of our business globally, the company is making some changes to its services functions, through a digital transformation program. As part of these changes, Glanbia is establishing a new Enterprise Solutions function (Glanbia Enterprise Solutions – GES), which will centralise and optimise the delivery of finance, HR and IT services to the business."
Describing the losses as 'regrettable' the company says that "due to the nature of the consultation process and timelines, the exact numbers cannot be confirmed at this stage."
"We will work closely with employees and their representative groups to support everyone over the coming period, providing severance packages and outplacement services."
