Online trading platform IG Group takes axe to hundreds of jobs
IG Group, the London-listed online trading platform, is taking an axe to hundreds of jobs just weeks after unveiling a $1.3bn deal to buy a major US-based prediction markets operator. Sky News has learnt that IG Group has told staff that a reorganisation of the company will result in a significant number of layoffs. In a memo to employees seen by Sky News, Michael Healy, newly appointed as the chief executive of IG Group's consumer division, said staff in countries including the UK would be informed in a first wave of discussions, which took place last month.
