The reason is a reduction in business and a need to reduce costs. Despite this they have just taken on another member of staff and hiring another next week. Technically there is someone else who will have to take over parts of my role and then they will outsource the rest. However they have a different job title to me. There was 3 other vacancies posted online last week which were then taken down a few days before I received my letter. The only job that is now live is something that they know I would not be able to do.

Hi all I am just looking for some advice for how to argue a redundancy. I have received a letter inviting me to a consultation meeting as I have been provisonally selected for redundancy. I have asked for the selection process and current vacancies however have been told as I am the only one in that role they didn't need one. Also I am the only person being made redundant. I have then since found out the md has told other members of staff I am redundant before having the consultation. I just wanted to some advice on whether this is allowed and also what the process is. Can they hand me a letter at that meeting to work my notice? Can I argue unfair dismissal? Thanks in advance.
