Around 750 jobs are to be cut by online car seller Cazoo in a bid to save more than £200m by the end of next year.
The company will slash its number of employees in the 海角视频 and Europe in a move that would reduce its total by about 15%.
In a statement, the business added that it will also slow new hiring.

Cazoo, which was founded in 2018, headquartered in London and listed in America, said its costs have been driven up by rising inflation and interest rates.
The business said: "The company is not immune to the rapid shift in the global economy and the possibility of a recession in the coming months.
"As a result, management's expectations for the full year are now more cautious, reflecting the weaker and uncertain external environment."
Cazoo did not give a breakdown of where the jobs will go, but it is understood the bulk will be across its 海角视频 operations - its biggest division - as well as in its European bases in Germany, France and Italy.
