WGPSN spokesperson told STV News: “We constantly respond to market challenges. Wood Group is continuing to take a number of steps to help customers increase operating efficiency, safely improve performance from oil and gas assets and reduce their costs.”

The spokesperson further added: “All changes made and proposed are done so in consultation with employees and their health and welfare is our top priority.
