Power company expected to make announcement on jobs alongside its results on Tuesday
Npower, one of Britain’s largest energy companies, is expected to announce up to 2,500 job cuts in the UK and overseas this week after being blighted by an exodus of customers, turbulent world energy markets and embarrassing customer billing problems.
The German-owned business, which is one of Britain’s “big six” energy suppliers, will tell staff thousands of jobs are to be axed following a series of poor financial results.
