The company behind Gillette and Pampers is to axe up to 7,000 jobs.

US multinational Procter & Gamble is reducing its non-manufacturing workforce by about 15 per cent in two years, as it pursues ‘efficiencies, faster innovation and cost reduction’.

P&G said it was not currently specifying which regions or roles would be affected. It had about 108,000 employees at the end of June last year.

Around half were in manufacturing, and more than a quarter were in the US. 

It makes a range of brands such as Ariel, Tampax and Head & Shoulders.

It has said that it is exposed to risks in the global economic environment, including new and increased tariffs.
