Job Cuts Loom Over Wanadoo Rebrand
Posted: 05th May, 2006 By: MarkJ
Orange (France Telecom) is to boot 2,000 UK jobs as part of a wider re-branding exercise, which will see ISP Wanadoo brought in under the same name:
Bernard Ghillebaert, chief exec of Orange UK said: "Specifics will be worked out over the next few months and a final structure in place by September, but the new Orange must be lean and agile and our cost base needs to be lower.
"Specifically, we will be 15 per cent leaner, resulting in significant annual savings and a streamlined, more efficient organisation. This means the loss of approximately 1,800 to 2,000 jobs.
"This reduction is expected to be achieved mainly through a combination of redeployment, natural attrition, non-renewal of temporary short term contracts, and, as a last resort, some redundancies."
