The move forms part of a series of measures aimed at reducing costs by around £40m. Kindred has had a presence in North America since 2018, operating in Arizona, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and in Canada. The group says that financial and technological resources will be reallocated to core markets in Europe. It also has operations in Australia and Asia.
