Clients of Boston office will be served through company's New York branch
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- JB Oxford Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:
JBOH - news), a provider of on-line brokerage, full-service discount and
correspondent clearing services to clients nationwide, plans to close its Boston office by
March 1, 1999, as part of its continuing initiative to increase operating efficiencies and
improve the company's bottom-line profitability.
''We continue to analyze the efficiency of all our offices and are continuing to implement
measures to cut costs while improving service to customers,'' said C.L. Jarratt, chairman
and chief executive officer of JB Oxford Holdings. ''Closing the Boston office makes
good economic sense given our current business strategy and customer focus. Our
branches in California, New York and Miami have the resources that will enable us to
meet the needs of our customers while profitably growing the company. This move will
allow us to devote our energies to building those offices in the most cost-effective
manner.''
The company has offered to relocate employees of the Boston branch to any of its other
offices throughout the country, at the employee's choosing. Clients currently served
through the Boston office will continue to be handled by their respective personal
brokers, should the brokers elect to remain with the company. The closing affects
approximately 15 brokers and three back-office personnel. JB Oxford currently has a
total of 270 employees.
JB Oxford Holdings, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary JB Oxford & Company,
provides full-service discount and on-line brokerage services, as well as correspondent
clearing services, to clients throughout the United States. In addition to its Beverly Hills
headquarters, the company has branches in New York; Miami; and San Gabriel, Calif.
