Chullora. Reduction in staff

PMP has started to reduce staff at its Chullora directories plant as Sensis confirmed plans of a massive decrease of deliveries of the White Pages in Sydney and Melbourne. Sensis, owned by Telstra, has confirmed its decision to cut 90 per cent of the 2011/12 residential White Pages directories, a fall of around 1.35 million books. Richard Allely, CEO of PMP, which has an exclusive Sensis print contract for another five years, said the reduction in volume did not come as a surprise, adding that the print group had a close working relationship with Sensis.
