It is with deep regret that as a result of the significant decline in UK demand for new buses and coaches, we have to announce a restructuring programme which places up to 650 jobs at risk across our UK business as we move to a leaner, more flexible manufacturing model that maintains our strong customer focus and best-in-class aftermarket support.

ADL has utilised the UK Government’s Job Retention Scheme as well as implementing salary reductions and reduced working hours for non-furloughed staff, along with stringent cost saving measures across all business functions. However, the steps taken so far are insufficient to align the company’s cost base to the current economic reality.

We remain firmly committed to working with our customers and supporting the bus and coach operating industry which itself is battling an unprecedented crisis. We continue to call upon the UK and Scottish Governments to act now to prevent further job cuts and preserve the UK’s world-leading bus and coach manufacturing industry.

The changes at ADL are part of a wider restructuring programme announced by NFI, affecting ADL’s sister companies in the United States and Canada along with the consolidation of ADL’s spare parts business in North America into NFI Parts.
