The decision was made "as part of our ongoing efforts to balance customer service and business support needs with staffing levels across network," Sherman said.
The remaining 700 HSBC employees in New Castle perform underwriting and claims processing for HSBC insurance operations and handle some functions for commercial banking, Sherman said. - Harold Brubaker
