Rolls-Royce to cut more than 200 management positions

London

ROLLS-Royce Holdings Plc is eliminating more than 200 positions from its management team as chief executive officer Warren East extends a wide-reaching restructuring of the embattled engine-maker.

The additional cuts will bring the total trimming of management positions under Mr East's reign to more than 600, a Rolls-Royce spokesman said in a statement on Sunday in response to a Financial Times report outlining the plans.
