Read our privacy policy Tesco is to cut about 400 jobs across its stores and head office as part of plans to “simplify” the business. The UK’s largest supermarket chain said managers in its head office and Tesco Mobile phone shops, as well as staff at some of its in-store bakeries, will be affected. Fellow rival Morrisons said it planned to cut around 200 jobs earlier this month, while Asda cut 475 head office jobs in November as part of efforts to arrest a recent slump in performance. Andrew Griffith, the Conservatives’ shadow business secretary, said: “With all the big four supermarkets having announcing job cuts, Labour’s choices are having the real-world impact we predicted.” A Government spokesman said: “While this is a commercial decision for Tesco we understand this will be a concerning time for workers at Tesco and their families.
