E.ON To Cut 450 Jobs
E.ON has today announced it is to cut its workforce by 450 people, largely from its Retail division. The company said it will make every effort to achieve this reduction by voluntary redundancies wherever possible. The proposed reduction is part of an ongoing programme to introduce leaner and more efficient processes throughout E.ON UK. This programme could lead to further job reductions, but it is envisaged that these will be achieved as people who leave the company over the coming months are not replaced. The planned reductions will be distributed among employees throughout the country, including E.ON's main offices in Nottinghamshire and at its Coventry HQ. As part of the overall planned reduction, the company has also announced its intention to cease operations at its call centre in Tannochside, near Glasgow, which employs 40 people.
