Specialist demolition contractor Coleman Group is to make around 50 members of its work force redundant after “significant” disruption caused by the coronavirus lockdown and the cancellation of its single largest project prompted a restructuring.
The transformation of the Broadmarsh shopping centre in Nottingham – Coleman’s biggest job – was cancelled while projects at Euston station for HS2, the Coventry Point office block deconstruction, and work for the National Grid were all paused before restarting.
The company said a reduction in headcount by around 50 people, down from its current level of 110, would “put it in the best shape to meet future challenges, with a more cost-effective, flexible approach”. The company hopes to achieve the reduction through voluntary redundancies wherever possible.
