Digicel lays off 55 workers

Fiji Times - Friday, February 12, 2010

DIGICEL has laid off 55 staff members as a result of consolidation of its Nadi and Suva operations.

This was confirmed by new Digicel chief executive officer Matt Davey, who took over from John Delves. He said 55 staff members opted for redundancy packages while five were unsuccessful when they reapplied for their positions.

Mr Davey said everyone was offered a chance to reapply for their positions, with most of the workers who were laid off coming out of the Nadi operation.

Mr Davey said Fiji was not an easy market but Digicel was very innovative and would come up with innovative deals.
