RAPAPORT... Rio Tinto Diamonds will shut its North American sales and
marketing office as part of a cost-cutting exercise.
The New York representative base, which was set up as a gateway to
the lucrative U.S. retail sector, will be closed in the first quarter after a
decade of operations.
“This decision reflects Rio Tinto’s continued focus on
improved efficiencies,” a Rio Tinto spokesperson said. “We remain fully
committed to the U.S. retail diamond jewelry market and will continue to work
in partnership with our Select Diamantaires on marketing initiatives in the U.S.”
Brandee Dallow (pictured), the director of the
office, will leave Rio Tinto when the office closes.
