Embattled property agency PropertyLimBrothers (PLB) has laid off employees from its media arm, less than three months after allegations about an extramarital affair between two senior executives thrust the firm into the spotlight.

The “majority” of “local staff” from PLB Media were affected in a recent restructuring exercise, says a PLB spokesperson on April 15, confirming an exclusive City & Country report from the day before. These employees provided research, marketing and social media support for PLB’s realtors.

However, the spokesperson says the report “does not reflect the scope of the restructuring exercise” as PLB shifts “towards a leaner, technology-enabled operating model”.
