Description
National Australia Bank (NAB), owner of Yorkshire and Clydesdale banks, will make 1,400 staff redundant by 2015 including 730 staff across the UK within the next few months as part of a major restructuring plan. The bank will close dozens of branches in South England as well as the Midland's region. The restructuring is blamed on the low prospects of the British branches coupled with troubled economic conditions.
