BT shutting down 270 offices across UK; what will happen to employees?

BT is reportedly shutting down offices across 270 locations across the UK, which represents a whopping 90 per cent reduction in the number of locations it operates.

BT Group chief Philip Jansen said that the company would instead operate in about 30 strategic offices - with the first eight in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Ipswich (Adastral Park), London and Manchester.

BT, which employs over 100,000 employees, gave no indication of the impact of the moves on jobs but called the programme the "largest of its type" in the UK. BT Group will also move out of its St Paul’s headquarters in London.
