British Gas owner Centrica reveals plans to axe staff cuts of 1,300 across its business over the next two years . Management cites a sweeping restructuring drive aimed at drastically slashing gas storage funding and trimming a core trading unit. Customer service posts could be shifted to automated chatbots instead of human hands, raising fresh fears for support roles. So far, no details have emerged on targeted departments or the timing of cuts . The company only confirmed that its trading wing will operate below usual growth speeds moving forward.
