Royal Dutch Shell will cut up to 2,800 jobs in its technology division over the next three years. The division, which counts 9,300 employees, has sites in Britain, the Netherlands and the US. Some jobs will be outsourced to India and Malaysia. A spokeswoman said the move was 'about developing Shell's IT efficiency'.
