The number of jobs being cut at Lloyds Banking Group continued to surge last week, with word that 2,100 more positions, mainly in the commercial and group offices, are to go. These latest cuts bring the number of staff who are to lose their jobs at the bank since its takeover of HBOS to about 7,000.
Ladbrokes, the bookmaker, said that it intends to cut 42 jobs at its call centres in London and Liverpool. The centres employ about 500 people at present. However, the company hopes to redeploy staff elsewhere in its business, if possible.
Diageo, maker of drinks such as Smirnoff vodka and Guinness, announced that it would shed 900 jobs as it closes a distillery and packaging plant in Scotland. The proposals are part of a restructuring of Diageo’s operations north of the border.
It is claimed that the loss of workers will be offset by the creation of 400 jobs with the expansion of a packing plant.
