Banco Santander SA is closing four U.K. offices as part of a shift to more flexible working. It will also shut around a fifth of its bank branches, resulting in about 600 job cuts.
The bank will shutter its Bootle, Newcastle, London Portman House and Manchester Deansgate offices by the end of 2021, Santander said in a statement Thursday. It will also take less space at four sites, including its Ludgate Hill and Triton Square offices in London.
