Royal Pavilion and Museum Trust eyes restructure

A restructure of The Royal Pavilion and Museums Trust (RPMT) will save £300,000 and affect more than a quarter of jobs, it is anticipated.

The trust, which manages Brighton’s Royal Pavilion and four other museums in the city, says the changes will result in "a more efficient and successful service”.

The restructure will establish new "income raising teams". CEO Hedley Swain says the charity will do "everything" it can to avoid compulsory redundancies.

"We’re hoping to become a stronger organisation for the future… Our five venues will benefit from a more unified vision as we all work together to create a stronger family of venues."

The consultation will be completed in January 2022, with changes announced thereafter.
