There are fears for jobs in Derry after Japanese IT company Fujitsu said it was carrying out a "transformation programme" which will result in a reduction of up to 1,800 jobs across Britain.
The multi-national information technology equipment and services company employs around 200 people at its Timberquay site.
In a statement, the company said:: "Fujitsu is planning a transformation program that will enable it to better support customers in the era of digital transformation.
"The company today advised its employee representative forum of plans to restructure the organisation in order to provide better service and respond more quickly to customer needs.
"As part of the programme, Fujitsu plans to streamline operations in order to remain competitive in the market.
"Proposed measures include changes which would result in a reduction of up to 1,800 jobs in the UK. All affected employees will be offered guidance and support and Fujitsu is establishing a consultation process with elected employee representatives."
