Ford has revealed plans to cut 800 jobs in the UK over the next three years as part of a broader restructuring initiative affecting 4,000 positions across Europe. The decision follows challenging trading conditions characterized by stiff competition and weak demand for electric vehicles. Managing director Lisa Brankin noted the emphasis would be on voluntary redundancy. This announcement is the second job cut round in less than two years for Ford’s UK operations. The automotive industry is facing significant disruptions, with many manufacturers struggling amidst high costs and competition.
