Vodafone to cut 11,000 jobs worldwide over next three years

Troubled telecoms firm makes first big move under new group chief executive Margherita Della Valle

Vodafone is to cut 11,000 jobs from its global workforce over the next three years, the largest round of cuts in the troubled telecoms group's history.

The job losses amount to more than a tenth of the 104,000 global staff employed by Vodafone. The company employs about 9,000 people in the UK, including at its headquarters in Berkshire.
