Tesco PLC said Tuesday that more than 1,800 jobs are at risk as
part of a series of changes to the company's in-store bakery
operations in order to adapt to changing customer demands.
The U.K. grocer said it will continue to offer scratch baking in
257 stores and make changes to its other bakeries from May. As a
result of some stores doing less scratch baking, fewer employees
will be needed, the company said.
"We know this will be very difficult for colleagues who are
impacted, and our priority is to support them through this process.
We hope that many will choose to stay with us in alternative
roles," Tesco U.K. and Ireland chief Jason Tarry said.
