Trevor McIntyreDunedin tracking and communication company TracPlus is considering cutting more than half its workforce after growth it anticipated did not occur because of Covid-19 disruptions in the aviation sector. TracPlus chairman John O’Hara said he expected a final decision, which he insisted had not yet been made, to be announced next week. Growth the firm had anticipated in the aviation sector and based on pre-Covid-19 feedback from customers had not happened, Mr O’Hara said. "That money was spent investing in a market that has not materialised as fast as we expected it to," Mr O’Hara said. Two of the company’s overseas offices would be affected by the job cuts, but Mr McIntyre would not identify which offices they were.
