Consumer goods giant Unilever revealed it has already axed around 6,000 jobs so far as part of an ongoing major overhaul that will also see it spin off its ice cream arm.
The group behind well-known brands such as Marmite and Dove soap said it was “ahead of plan” on the restructure, which was announced last year and will lead to 7,500 job cuts worldwide in a bid to save 800 million euros (£683.9 million).
