Tesco to slash 1,000 jobs in shake-up of its distribution centres

Tesco said it will make 1,000 people redundant as part of a shake-up of its UK distribution network.

The supermarket said it would cut the number of distribution centres from 25 to 23 by shutting its Welham Green and Chesterfield sites.

However, the company said it also expects to create 500 new roles as part of the overhaul.

The changes are expected to be in place by June.
