Morrisons’ interim results: past year’s challenges
Management restructure to see 2,600 jobs cut
Morrisons revealed plans to cut 2,600 jobs in a management restructure, in June.
The retailer claimed the changes would modernise store management, by cutting management tiers, simplifying responsibilities and improving customer service.
Dalton Philips, Morrisons boss, said: “This is the right time to modernise the way our stores are managed. These changes will improve our focus on customers and lead to simpler, smarter ways of working.
“We know that moving to the new management structure will mean uncertainty for our colleagues and we will be supporting them through the process.”
