Prudential staff await jobs news Prudential jobs deal with Capita
(about 10 hours later)
Hundreds of staff at the Scottish base of financial giant Prudential are expecting to find out whether their jobs will be axed. Hundreds of jobs at the Scottish base of financial giant Prudential will be transferred to Capita in a £700m deal.
About 1,000 staff working at Prudential's Craigforth site near Stirling are amongst those moving.
The company announced in March that 3,000 of its UK jobs were under review after it raised its UK cost-cutting target to £195m.The company announced in March that 3,000 of its UK jobs were under review after it raised its UK cost-cutting target to £195m.
About 2,300 full-time staff are employed at the Pru's Craigforth base on the outskirts of Stirling. This move ends a six-month wait for Prudential staff. The deal is part of an effort to cut costs by almost £200m.
The Amicus union said about 1,000 jobs could be "outsourced". About 2,300 full-time staff are employed at the Craigforth base.
It was reported last week that Prudential was considering an outsourcing deal with UK group Capita for hundreds of life and pensions administration roles. Capita will now look after Prudential's mature life and pensions business including company and individual pensions and life and endowment policies.
Senior management were called to a meeting at 1900 GMT on Tuesday. Capita is Britain's biggest back-office firm and will also take over 750 Prudential jobs in Reading and 1,250 based in Mumbai.
The company is expected to make an announcement to the City on Wednesday morning. The jobs are expected to transfer by April next year.
An Amicus spokesman said the union was not recognised at Craigforth and did not have access to the site - even though it had access to Pru's other UK sites.
