There were 70 staff affected by the three office closures at the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) – 34 in Birmingham, 24 in Reading and 12 in Plymouth. 10 members of staff opted to take voluntary exit. The 60 remaining staff are from the range of functions across the SFA and are across the whole range of grades. The office based staff will move to the Bristol, Coventry or London offices, or become homeworkers. Geographical workers will be linked to Coventry but remain working more flexibly across their area.
