Media agency Space and Time has said that it is “business as usual” following the news that client, the UK’s largest house builder, Taylor Wimpey is set to cut around 900 jobs.

The house builder is set to close a third of its 39 regional offices, including its north of Scotland office and its West of Scotland Bryant office, having failed to secure a £500m rescue deal following the slow down in the housing industry.

Sandy Gill, managing director of Space and Time which has offices in Edinburgh, Manchester and Surrey said that the account continued to be busy, and while they had known about the closure of the regional offices, the agency would still deal with the marketing of the company’s 500 sales units around the UK.

Gill and co-founder of Space and Time, Peter Jones have worked with the client since it was Alfred McAlpine’s 18 years ago. That was then bought over by George Wimpey, but saw both retained to work on the account, finally taking it to Space and Time on its formation in June 2000.
