Tesco management cuts to affect Brighton and Hove stores

Tesco has announced plans to replace 1,700 management roles with lower paid staff across the UK, with stores in Brighton and Hove to be affected

The supermarket giant has announced changes to the way it runs its Express branches, with 1,700 deputy managers to be replaced with 3,300 new ‘shift leader’ roles.

A spokesperson for Tesco said the new structure is ‘part of a wider programme of transformation to meet customer needs in a rapidly changing retail sector’.

This week about 1,700 deputy managers will begin consultation and will be offered new shift leader positions or alternative roles in other Tesco stores.
