Technology firm Fujitsu Services Ltd. has announced it will trim 1,800 jobs in the UK, The Guardian reported on 11 October. The figure represents more than one-tenth of the firm’s workforce in Britain.
The cuts will begin to take place next year and are part of an effort to streamline operations. The firm operates several offices in the UK, and did not specify where cuts would take place. Fujitsu’s largest office, in Bracknell, employs 1,500 people.
Fujitsu has insisted the cuts are not related to Brexit.
