Jersey's Lloyds Bank announces job losses

Lloyds Banking Group has announced that 30 islanders will lose their jobs.

The reduction in staff is part of its 2011 Strategic Review - when the group announced it was cutting 15,000 jobs across the business.

Jersey staff from the retail, risk, operations and commercial banking divisions will be offered voluntary redundancy.

A spokesperson said: "Lloyds is committed to working through the changes carefully and sensitively."
