Tesco makes 'difficult decisions' as 400 jobs cut in supermarket shake up
Tesco is to cut about 400 jobs across its stores and head office, the supermarket chain has said. The reduction is part of plans to “simplify” the business amid a market that is “more competitive than ever”.
The supermarket giant said managers in its head office and Tesco Mobile phone shops, as well as staff at its in-store bakeries, will be affected.
Matthew Barnes, Tesco’s UK boss, said: “These are difficult decisions affecting our colleagues, but we believe they are necessary to enable us to invest in what matters most to our customers.
