9th June 2010; 4.00 pm - Impact of the Government cuts on Companies House Companies House, together with all other parts of the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, is required to find 11% this year. Matters have moved very quickly over the last few weeks and days, and Directors here have been working hard to put in place effective plans and arrangements to make the cuts while still continuing to provide excellent services to our customers. Some of the early details will be announced to staff simultaneously throughout our UK offices; the HQ of which is in Cardiff. It is only right that they should be the first to hear these details and we will be reserving further comment until after the 'All Staff Event' on Thursday. We have a very committed, skilled and enthusiastic staff group at Companies House and managers share their concerns about what the future might hold. It is a time for calm and careful planning and the 'Event' is part of our continuing communications commitment to staff. We are in dialogue with trades union representatives in the business and will be working with them to provide information and to discuss potential developments over the next few months. It is a fundamental part of government thinking that effective customer facing services should continue to focus their efforts on frontline provision and Companies House has an excellent reputation in this regard, gained over many years and in sometimes difficult circumstances. Our role in government is crucial to supporting British business development and, as such, Companies House will continue to play its part in creating the right environment for economic recovery.
