AJ exclusive: CABE joining with Design Council to continue design review

摘要

Senior CABE officials are in talks with the Design Council about a proposed merger which would see the organisation continue its design review and enabling role with a smaller, core team. CABE, which has handed out redundancy notices to staff and will be officially wound up next March, confirmed discussions were underway with the Design Council, which is set to become an independent charity in the new year. Although CABE was unable to officially comment on the rumours, sources at the commission said the link-up is now the organisation's preferred option, but a deal could take another week to finalise.
