The reductions will happen over three years and are part of a bigger cull of 4,000 jobs across Europe.

“Making this announcement isn’t something that anybody wants to do, and I appreciate it will have a very significant impact on our employees,” said Lisa Brankin, Ford’s boss for the UK and Ireland. “It’s not the news anyone wants to hear at any time. So our aim is to try to deliver this through voluntary redundancy.”
