London – Aston Martin is expected to lay off about 20% of its workforce as the luxury automaker restructures following a U.S. tariff announcement, according to a layoff alert shared Wednesday.
The claim was published in a Wednesday post by WhatLayoff, which said Aston Martin will cut roughly one-fifth of its workforce amid restructuring pressure tied to the U.S. tariff announcement, weaker demand in China and ongoing financial challenges. The post also cited high debt and declining profits as factors.
Aston Martin has not been quoted in the material provided, and the post did not specify how many employees would be affected, which roles or locations would see reductions, or when the layoffs would take place. The company’s total headcount and any formal filing or statement were not included in the post.
Still, a 20% reduction would represent a significant workforce change for a niche, high-end manufacturer whose costs include engineering, production and supplier networks that can be sensitive to demand swings. The Wednesday post framed the cuts as part of a broader restructuring effort rather than a single-site closure.
WhatLayoff’s post did not provide details on the U.S. tariff announcement, and no tariff specifics were included in the material provided.
For young workers and early-career employees in automotive, engineering, and retail-facing luxury brands, the report is a reminder that market shifts and restructuring decisions can quickly affect hiring and staffing levels across global manufacturers.
Additional information is expected to depend on whether Aston Martin issues a formal statement or provides details to investors, regulators, or employees about timing, locations, and support for affected workers.
