Britvic refuses to rule out job cuts

BRITVIC said it is committed to the Irish market despite fears of jobs losses and pay cuts in the new year following a restructuring of their Irish operations.

The company intends to announce its plans for the restructuring of its Irish operations in the coming months and it refused yesterday to rule out job losses among its 800-strong workforce in Ireland.

The drinks firm is, however, pushing on with plans to invest in Ireland and will launch the popular US drink, Mountain Dew in March or April next year.
