LONDON, England (CNN) -- UK cable group Virgin Media said Tuesday that it planned to cut 2,200 UK jobs by 2012 as part of a sweeping restructure.
Virgin Media said it would would not start cutting jobs until the fourth quarter of next year, with the majority of the role reductions taking place before the end of 2010, the UK's Press Association reported.
The job losses come as part of a group-wide overhaul following a review this year made in the wake of the firm's formation by the merger of rival cable operators Telewest and ntl in 2006.
Virgin Media has 76 offices across the UK, with major bases at sites in London, Edinburgh, Nottingham and Sheffield.
