The layoffs will affect about eight per cent of the workforce in that side of the business as more back-office functions will be taken over by "robots", according to Read.

It is also considering selling tens of thousands of mobile masts throughout Europe to reduce its debts. Nick Read will take over as Vodafone CEO from Vittorio Colao next month.
