EVANS & TATE LET TWENTY WORKERS GO

The Australian wine-maker Evans & Tate eliminated 20 jobs as a part of a restructuring program that is expected to save the troubled company $2.5 million a year. "This restructure will involve getting improved efficiencies and productivity out of the finance function and the restructuring of other departments to improve business efficiency,” said the company in a statement. Chief Martin Johnson claimed that laying off 20 staff members was “the last thing I want to do, however I am determined to make the hard decisions necessary to ensure that the Evans & Tate turnaround strategy has every chance of success." With these changes Martin feels confident that Evans & Tate will grow into a much stronger company.
