Does not yetsay where the cuts will be made - I suspect most of them will be from the power generation arm of the company.

They made lots of office staff redundant, closing the operation in Stoke-on-Trent, a couple of years ago. Back office work went to India , but there were problems and rumours that work was coming back to the UK.

I bet will be Newcastle that will go and the rest of oldbury. They were more than happy to take the jobs of people that they had no idea or experience of. I feel sorry for the northern ones that signed over to capita, as they will get zero as under 2 years

I feel for those who are losing their jobs. It would seem that NPower's problems in the UK are very much linked to problems with its parent company, RWE, which lost £155M in 2015. Most pundits predict that the redundancies will be offshore posts.

I predict the Hull site will go. One side of the building is completely decrepit and many of the staff got laid off in the last round of cutbacks.

I'm glad I got out when I did!

nPower are and have been unprofitable for over a year already, and they've been in the 'quiet sale' area since the beginning of this financial year - posted here on 18-12-2015, 7:05 PM

As expected 13 weeks ago it was only ever a question of time and true to form 52 weeks after the 'quiet sale' was offered to market it happened !

One UK post made redundant pays for dozens of offshore posts!, most [internal rumour] that are going are UK middle level super-jockeys on annual earnings of £25-30k pa.
