Sainsbury’s will cut more than 3,000 jobs and plans to close its remaining in-store cafes as part of a major restructure, the supermarket chain has announced
The job loses represent about two per cent of the workforce and will concentrate mainly on senior roles where 20% of senior management roles will be cut at the supermarket giant as part of plans to focus on fewer, bigger roles and to simplify its head office and management teams.
Simon Roberts, Sainsbury’s chief executive, said the supermarket was facing a “particularly challenging cost environment” as it moves forward with its company strategy.
