Scotsman Publications has been forced to make its Scotland-based ad
director and recruitment ad manager redundant.
Display and classified ad director John Currie had worked at The
Scotsman for nearly 20 years, while recruitment head Wilma Leslie had
accrued almost 17 years. Both are thought to be in redundancy
negotiations.
The Scotsman retains both a head of display and head of classified in
Scotland, as well as an advertising managing director, Richard
Bogie.
Industry sources say the publisher made the cuts as a result of tough
market conditions.
