Britain's M&S to cut 7,000 jobs

Tue, 18th Aug 2020 07:17

LONDON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - British retailer Marks & Spencer
said on Tuesday it plans to cut 7,000 jobs over the next
three months as it streamlines the business for a post COVID-19
sales mix.

It said the jobs will go in its central support centre, in
regional management, and in its UK stores.

M&S said it expected a significant proportion would be
through voluntary departures and early retirement.
