Coca-Cola set to shed 130 jobs after review of logistics

COCA-COLA yesterday announced it is to let 130 staff go as part of a restructuring drive.

The soft drinks company said it had completed a review of its logistics infrastructure “and as a result will be entering into consultation with employees over plans which could lead to a reduction in employment”.

It said the review had concluded that the cost of its logistics operation was exceptionally high when measured against the industry in Ireland and other comparable countries within its group.
