Bentley Plans Up to 275 Job Cuts in Crewe Amid Restructuring
Bentley will cut up to 275 mainly non-manufacturing jobs at Crewe, citing a 42% profit drop and challenges from tariffs and market contraction, affecting 6% of its workforce.
- On Tuesday, Bentley announced up to 275 jobs are at risk at its Crewe, Cheshire, Pyms Lane site, affecting about 6% of the workforce.
- A sharp profit decline and rising costs prompted Bentley, which blamed a 42% drop in profits to 216 million euros and higher costs from Volkswagen Group and US tariffs.
- Cuts will focus on management, agency and non-manufacturing employees, with at least 150 staff placed at risk and a consultation period over the next four to six weeks, while 125 roles will be reduced by year-end.
- The GMB trade union said the Bentley workforce is stunned by the announcement, vowing to stand side by side with members while Karen Lewis, GMB organiser, said 'Trump’s tariffs have hit Bentley hard'.
- The company emphasised ongoing investment at Pyms Lane, including the Design Centre opened last year, the near completion of the A1 building for BEV production, and a new Paint Shop opening later this year, while reporting a seventh consecutive year of profitability.
