Everything Everywhere, the joint venture between France Telecom - Orange and Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile, plans to cut 1,200 jobs by Christmas as the merging companies try to create a minimum cost saving of some £3.5 billion by 2014.



Since the merger over 2500 jobs have been lost. There are currently 16,000 employees working for Everything Everywhere.



The Daily Telegraph reports that "the latest job losses will affect mainly back-office and middle management roles as the merged group looks to eliminate duplicate positions. The cuts will affect head office sites in Bristol, Hatfield and London.



Everything Everywhere insisted that no front-line staff in retail shops and call centres would be affected by the latest cuts. CEO Tom Alexander said it was necessary to remove duplication from the combined business to ensure it operated with maximum efficiency."
