Aecom cut 500 jobs just days after its UK chief executive, David Barwell, left the top role at the firm after 20 years at the business. The consultant said the figure amounts to about 7% of its 7,000 UK and Ireland staff. Barn's Dutch parent saw first-half losses widen to more than £100m as the firm said the covid-19 crisis and a problem job in Germany kept it firmly in the red. It fell further into the red, racking up a pre-tax loss of €134m (£119m) on turnover down 10% to €3.1bn(£2.77bn).
