Firm blames covid-19 and says 5% of staff set to go

Arup has become the next firm to announce a redundancy programme because of the covid-19 pandemic with the engineer and consultant set to axe 350 staff from its UK arm.

The firm said the losses will account for around 5% of employees in its home market and in a statement added: “Like many of our clients and partners, covid-19 has crystallised the need for a reshaping of our business to reflect anticipated forward workload, business size, shape and skillsets to meet the post-pandemic market.”
