Job cuts ahead at Timberland
Outdoor footwear and apparel company Timberland has confirmed it is to restructure, resulting in an unspecified number of job losses.
According to director of corporate communications, Robin Giampa, employees at Timberland’s Stratham, New Hampton, facility will be let go, with some relocating to other company locations.
Mt Giampa said the job losses would only affect a small number of workers, but didn’t specify whether manufacturing, administrative or both sectors would be subject to the restructuring measures.
"Our focus is building a sustainable business model to support our long-term growth capabilities," he said. "Over time, growing the business and adding new capabilities should actually result in more Timberland jobs being added in the coming years."
