Banking group Close Brothers said it would cut about 600 jobs, almost a quarter of its 2,600 workforce, after further losses.
About the figure: The lender said it is deploying automation and AI in parallel; it did not attribute the job cuts to AI, so aiRelated is false. The owner may wish to review.
