Tesco Reshapes Head Office, Cutting 180 Roles and Creating About 250

The retailer says the overhaul refocuses head‑office skills on online growth.

Overview

  • Usdaw’s national officer Daniel Adams criticised the decision and said the union will scrutinise the business case and seek protections for affected members.
  • Tesco has not disclosed which specific positions will be removed or what the newly created roles will entail.
  • The company frames the changes as supporting fast-growing online and quick commerce services and strengthening customer personalisation capabilities.
