British Gas owner Centrica reveals plans to axe staff cuts of 1,300 across its business over the next next few years. Management blames a sweeping restructuring drive aimed at cutting gas storage investment and trimming a core trading unit. Customer service posts will likely be shifted to automated chatbots instead of human hands, raising fresh fears for support roles. So far, no details have emerged on affected areas or the timing of cuts . The company only confirmed that its trading wing will operate below usual growth speeds moving forward.
