Tesco close to finishing staff restructure and to shut 100 in-store bakeries

Tesco is reportedly close to concluding a major staff restructure across its entire business as part of Chief Executive Philip Clarke’s plan to reshape the business in a bid to become a global multichannel leader.

According to Retail Week, the struggling has been reviewing its roles across all levels to see if it has the right positions for its multichannel growth. The trade magazine said that Tesco will redeploy around 100 staff from the roles they are in, and create several hundred vacancies across other functions. The roles are said to be focused around the middle and junior level, and run across all functions including IT, marketing and commercial.

Meanwhile, Tesco is planning to close more than 100 of it in-store bakeries across the South East. According to The Grocer, the move comes after Tesco revealed it is to open a new centralised kitchen in Surrey producing fresh bread and artisan bakery products for its stores as part of it expanding Euphorium project.

The trade magazine quotes a Tesco spokeswoman as saying: “We already offer Euphorium bakery products in several of our stores in and around London and feedback from customers has been really positive. As part of our programme of creating compelling and enjoyable retail destinations for our customers, we’re going to be introducing the Euphorium range of artisan breads and cakes to more of our stores in the coming months.”
