INTERNET firm eDirectory has made six workers redundant, but bosses insist the business is not in trouble like many other dot-com companies nationally.
Managing director Dominic Allonby said the job losses had been prompted by a decision to refocus the business and drop unprofitable operations.
As a result, Barrow-based eDirectory is to stop designing websites and will concentrate on automated Internet database work such as its newly-launched national private network for police officers.
Mr Allonby said the company, which now employs 31 staff, was developing new technology for the Internet and hoped to create more jobs in the future.
All six staff whose functions were no longer needed had found other jobs, he added.
