\n BAE confirmed management roles were being scrapped across the naval ships business, which includes sites in Portsmouth, Frimley and Filton.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe\u2019ve undertaken a review to consider how we reshape and modernise the operations of our naval ships business following considerable investment in our infrastructure in recent years,\u201d a spokesperson from BAE Systems said.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhilst we expect the overall size of the business to continue to grow, we\u2019ll now commence consultation to potentially reduce our executive population by up to 116 roles.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We\u2019ll work alongside our employee representative groups to do everything we can to support our colleagues, including exploring potential opportunities in other areas of the company.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIn the meantime, our focus remains on delivering for our customers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n BAE said it will aim to minimise the number of compulsory redundancies by moving some staff into other positions across the company.\n<\/p>\n
\n Last month, Norway placed an order for five Type-26 frigates, to add to the eight being built for the Royal Navy.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company currently has a \u00a33.7bn contract with the Navy for three frigates, signed in 2017, and a further \u00a34.2bn deal for five more frigates, signed in 2022.\n<\/p>\n
\n The first vessel will be named HMS Glasgow, and is expected to be handed over to the Navy next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Management staff in Govan and Scotstoun were told there would be an organisational overhaul on the naval ships…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-438262","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115236031574169422","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
