Shell to lay off 20% of deals division, part of restructuring

What’s happening at Shell?

Shell is reportedly planning to eliminate at least 20 per cent of its deals division as it restructures its business units.

According to Bloomberg, staff who handle mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for the energy producer were told that more information on the reduction will be provided in April.

The company’s deals division, which has several hundred employees, is the latest team to be hit with layoffs.

In January, multiple news outlets reported that Shell had begun cutting hundreds of jobs, including roles within its low-carbon solutions unit.
