Glasgow based centre of design and architecture, The Lighthouse is set to enter a redundancy consultation process which could see it make most of its staff redundant.

The BBC has reported that 44 jobs of the 57 members of staff at the centre are under threat with a consultation process set to go ahead this week.

A spokesperson for The Lighthouse spokesperson  was unable to guarantee that there would be no redundancies: “I don’t know where that figure is coming from, until plans are finalised by the board of directors nothing is set in stone.

“There is a process in train at the moment, looking particularly at income streams, with a range of proposals being looked at to ensure we balance the books.

“The outcome of this review will be made public in four to six weeks.”

Last Year, the centre  was bailed out by Glasgow City Council when it received a £250k loan to fill a financial deficit.
