Nissan to axe 250 jobs at Sunderland plant after £3.5 billion loss
- On 30 June 2025, Nissan revealed plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 250 employees at its major manufacturing facility in the North East of England as part of efforts to boost operational efficiency.
- This decision follows Nissan's global cost-saving plan under CEO Ivan Espinosa amid a $4.5 billion fiscal loss and challenging market conditions.
- The Sunderland plant, which employs around 6,000 people, will not close and remains central to Nissan's electrification strategy with new EV models planned.
- Espinosa stated the cuts are part of a £1.3 billion 'Re:Nissan recovery plan' aiming for a leaner and more resilient business amid tariff impacts and global competition.
- The voluntary departure discussions aim to support future competitiveness and plant flexibility while manufacturing staff are not expected to be affected by the job cuts.
