23 January, 2020 | by Angela Beevers
The Morrisons supermarket chain is to cut 3,000 management jobs cross its stores as part of a restructure that will create more lower-level positions on the shop floor.
The retailer will introduce 7,000 new jobs in-store for people working in customer-facing roles.
David Lepley, Morrisons group retail director, said: “Whilst there will be a short period of uncertainty for managers affected by these proposals, we will be supporting them through this process and there are jobs available for everybody who wants to continue to work at Morrisons.”
He added: “There will also be more roles with greater flexibility that are very attractive to colleagues with families.”
