As people have left the company the staff who remain have taken on more responsibilities. Where we can't cope work has been moved to other offices down south, or sold to other companies. All cases that have been moved or sold are for English, Welsh and Irish customers. We've long suspected everything has been on hold until the outcome of the referendum. If Scotland votes YES, we will still have a presence in Scotland / Edinburgh but we certainly won't have the same level of work or requirement for staff. It's almost a certainty redundancies will follow. Interestingly our CEO is visiting us on Wednesday the 17th for a meeting. No agenda has been set.
