MAJOR manufacturer Dyson is planning on cutting 1,000 UK jobs as part of a major shake up.
The company said it would be culling hundreds of staff as part of a global restructure.
The firm’s chief executive officer Hanno Kirner said it would support those at risk of redundancy.
Dyson currently employs 3,500 staff across the UK with offices in Wiltshire, Bristol and London.
Mr Kirner said: “We have grown quickly and, like all companies, we review our global structures from time to time to ensure we are prepared for the future.
“As such, we are proposing changes to our organisation, which may result in redundancies.”
He added: “Decisions which impact close and talented colleagues are always incredibly painful.
“Those whose roles are at risk of redundancy as a result of the proposals will be supported through the process.”
Dyson was founded by inventor James Dyson, bringing the world’s first bagless vacuum cleaner to the UK market in 1983.
Last year, the manufacturer announced plans to invest £100million in a new research and development hub in Bristol.
But it came after the firm said it would axe 900 members of staff in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
