Ford cuts 800 jobs in UK as part of Europe-wide cull
Another 800 jobs are to go at Ford, just 18 months after the company cut one fifth of its UK workforce.
The hundreds of jobs going this time represent 15 per cent of the 5,100 remaining people the company employs in the UK.
Last spring the US motor company made 1,300 people of its UK workforce redundant from the 6,400 it then employed.
The latest round of redundancies, part of 4,000 jobs across Europe, comes as the company struggles to make the transition to retiring petrol and diesel engine cars and moving to a zero-emission future, despite its bold and unfulfilled promises to be an all-electric brand in Europe in 2025.
