The cuts were announced to staff this morning and follow a strategic review after the acquisition of NFC payments specialist Aconite in December 2014. “The base of the staff has enlarged as a result of both companies coming together, so they’re trying to slim down,” a spokesman told NFC World. “There’s an overlap of skills.”

Proxama Plc (LON:PROX) has traded on AIM, the London Stock Exchange’s international market for smaller growing companies, since August 2013.

The company is due to issue a trading update on 3 February.

UPDATE Proxama has now confirmed to NFC World that there will be 12 redundancies at the company.
