Additional Information

Helicopter maker AgustaWestland has announced plans to cut up to 375 jobs. The restructuring will affect mainly corporate and management roles in Yeovil and at Farnborough in Hampshire. The cuts are blamed on a decline in the number of export orders and the 'tightened' budget of the Ministry of Defense.
