MORRISONS have confirmed the possibility of redundancies in Bradford as the company continues with its "plan to simplify the business".
The T&A had been contacted about the redundancies and it is understood that around 200 staff within the supply chain function at Morrisons Head Office, in Gain Lane, Bradford, have been placed into consultation ahead of planned redundancies toward the end of March.
A Morrisons spokesperson said: "Over the last year, we have invested in our front line colleagues, creating 20,000 new roles across stores and sites.
"During this time we have continued our plan to simplify and speed up the business.
"As a consequence we are proposing changes in some central teams to improve how we operate and this means there is the possibility of redundancy for a very small number of positions within those teams.
"We will consult with our colleagues over these proposals. We want to retain as many within the business as possible and will be offering them support throughout the process."
A person who did not want to be identified said: "This on the back of huge effort by these staff to maintain product availability to customers during the pandemic."
