He added: "We appreciate this is a difficult time for those who have been affected, however, these changes have been made to create a more agile and sustainable business for future growth.”

In January last year, Origin received a £3million cash injection after Calculus Capital bought an undisclosed percentage of the firm.

Mr Bryssau said at the time that the firm was hoping to see the number of staff increase from 100 to 400.

Then in May last year, Mr Bryssau was quoted as saying the company 'needs 140 staff by the end of the year'.

This compares with a loss of £1.23million during the same period in 2015.
