Hunting Plc Considers EMEA Job Cuts in Restructuring Plan

(Reuters) -Britain's Hunting Plc said on Tuesday it was considering cutting jobs at its EMEA operations which could save the energy services firm about 10 million pounds ($13 million) annually.

The London-listed company is considering shutting down its Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) operating site in the Netherlands, with future orders related to geothermal activity to be fulfilled by its UK operations.

"Workforce consultations have now commenced in the relevant jurisdictions," Hunting said, without specifying the number of jobs that could be affected.
