However, it is understood that the figures from September to April show that it has cut its workforce in the Middle East by about 25%.rnThe losses took place as redundancies or transfers, and reduced the total number employed in the region from 245 in September to 185 at present.rnLast month, at least 20% of Currie & Brown's staff in Oman were made redundant and the company's billing and measurement activities werernmade "dormant". It was this unit that processed bills of quantities for Currie & Brown's cost consultancy work across the Middle East.
