Ford Motor Co. may eliminate as many as 550 jobs in the U.K. as part of a broader restructuring plan for the carmaker’s European operations, according to Bloomberg News.
The jobs will be in the company’s salaried, non-manufacturing staff in Britain, a source tells the news service. Ford announced in March that it intends to shrink its workforce in Germany by more than 5,000 fulltime and temporary positions.
Ford employs about 54,000 people in Europe, according to Bloomberg. The news service says the company plans to shed 350-400 jobs at its factory in Bridgend. Ford says it hasn’t yet determined how many positions will be affected in the U.K.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
