Takao, a supplier of motor parts, is to cut 100 jobs at its Brockworth site in Gloucester. The cuts follow Honda's announced plans to reduce production in the UK. The company is considering voluntary redundancies as an option for some of the staff affected. As of 23 January 2009 there is no information on when the job losses will occur.
