Asked if further consolidation of the business would be forthcoming in the near future, the spokesperson said that while RSA continually strives to run its operations as efficiently as possible, there are no plans in the pipeline that would affect other employees in Horsham.

“This is very much an exercise for this part of our business, it is not indicative of a broader programme,” said the spokesperson.
