The UK Agri-Tech Centre has finished a consultation that will reduce its workforce by 60 percent, AgFunderNews reported. The decision reduces the organisation from 130 to 50 staff members as part of a structural realignment. The UKATC described the move as a strategic shift to become a leaner and more focused organisation. [1]
Chief engagement officer Daniel Himsworth stated that the workforce reduction is not a cost-cutting exercise, according to AgFunderNews. The restructure alters how agriculture technology businesses access publicly supported research and development facilities across the United Kingdom. [1]
Under the new operating model, the organisation is moving away from delivering services directly to commercial clients. AgFunderNews reported that the UKATC will instead function as a broker that connects agriculture technology startups and businesses with external partner facilities and expertise. [1]
