Future still bright for Duke Video

The managing director of Duke Video says the future still looks bright for the company, despite job losses announced yesterday.

Peter Duke says 15 posts are to go among sales, marketing and distribution staff after problems with high street retailers.

In particular, he says the loss of chains such as HMV and Woolworths affected the number of outlets stocking his firm’s products.

But Mr Duke says the business is diversifying and its long term future looks secure.
