Write a commentAs a result of the worldwide coronavirus crisis Newry based company MJM Marine has seen all but one of its drydock projects postponed indefinitely and as a result they expect to see redundancies in the business.
In a statement released today a spokesperson said “Today MJM Marine has communicated to our valued employees the first stage of a consultation process which will result in redundancies. Despite taking the highest level of precautions, decisions late last week across the world led to all but one of our drydock projects being postponed indefinitely due to Covid- 19.
“This is not something we ever expected to have to do but unfortunately with the situation in the cruise sector we have been left with no alternative. Our thoughts and concerns are with all those who have been impacted by Covid -19 and with those at the front line of dealing with it. Our priority is the continued health and safety of our people; and our clients and suppliers who are all being impacted.”
The company founded in 1983 by Rathfriland man Brian McConville is one of Newry citys most successful businesses.
