UK - Renovo to Cut Jobs

UK-based Renovo is to cut the jobs of a third of its workforce as part of restructuring, the company revealed in September 2009.

The restructure comes after talks of a takeover with an unnamed company failed.

Renovo, which specialises in scar-reduction technology, hopes to reduce costs by around 20-30% by axing around 50 of its 160 employees.

In addition to job cuts, the company will freeze directors’ salaries in order to retain cash for the Phase III trials of Juvista.
