Hundreds of jobs will be cut and operations hived off after AEA Technology issued on 4 April 2005 its second profit warning this year and announced the departure of its chairman and chief executive, Peter Watson.
Shares in AEA, one of the last businesses to be privatised by the Conservatives, are struggling to cope with a £60 million debt and a £120 million pension fund hole. It now concentrates on rail contracting and environmental services but its transport activities have been hit by a reduction in business from Network Rail and others. About 200 staff - some 7% of the total - will be cut.
