Barclays is to cut 250 jobs across a number of UK sites and shut down a large office in Leeds as part of an
overhaul that will affect around 1,000 staff.
The changes will see jobs move to Manchester, Northampton, Sunderland and a new flagship site in
Glasgow. All staff whose jobs are moving have been given the chance to keep their positions, and financial
support to help them relocate, Barclays said.
