Halifax Staff Fear Job Losses

Staff at a Building society are facing their fears that 80 jobs could be taken away from Belfast if a restructuring programme goes ahead.

Halifax has revealed that a restructuring of its services could see 80 jobs in its Retail Mortgage and Private Banking section relocated.

Currently the positions are located at the Gasworks site in the city but staff have not yet been told where the re-located jobs will be based.

Halifax is part of the Lloyds Banking Group which, on Tuesday, announced it was shedding 1,000 jobs in the UK.
