WORLDCHOICE has axed three senior staff in a move to cut costs. News of the redundancies came as chairman Colin Heal pledged to help members through the current crisis after being elected to the board.

Those to lose their jobs are special projects manager Ginnie Marsh, who had been with Worldchoice for more than 15 years, and business development managers Andrew Fox and Kevin Thomasson.

General manager Chris Fife said: “The redundancies are due to the economic downturn.”

Heal replaces managing director Julian Foster, who resigned over the controversial shareholder scheme in September. He scooped 74.85% of the vote over rival Bryan Somers, Northern Ireland chairman.
