The cuts at the
Volkswagen-owned brand are expected to be announced on Friday, according to the
report.
Luxury carmaker Bentley
is cutting about 1,000 jobs in the United Kingdom amid the ongoing coronavirus
outbreak, the BBC reported late on Thursday.
The cuts at the Volkswagen-owned brand are expected to be announced on Friday, according to the report.
The carmaker is likely to
offer workers the chance to take voluntary redundancy, the report added.
Bentley, founded in the UK
in 1919, has restarted production at its northern English Crewe factory, where
it builds thousands of luxury models. However, the shutdown of its UK
production due to the virus outbreak has hurt the company.
Earlier on Thursday, Aston
Martin , another luxury carmaker, said it planned to shed 500 jobs as it seeks
to bring its cost base into line with reduced sports car production levels.
Volkswagen
and Bentley did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment late
on Thursday.
