Centaur Media to consult with staff over proposed job cuts

Up to ten editorial jobs are at risk at business publisher Centaur Media, within the division which publishes Money Marketing, the Lawyer and Mortgage Strategy. The company is to start consultation with staff over the proposals next week, which could see job losses for up to ten of the 26 editorial staff within its financial services division. Journalism.co.uk understands that the publisher is considering to centralise editorial production across some financial and creative publications, including the Lawyer and Marketing Week, though no further redundancies have been discussed at this stage. Centaur Media's latest financial report for the last six months of 2011 showed that underlying revenues for titles within its legal and financial publishing group "were flat" but that "strong growth [was] reported from its Mortgage Strategy title".
