Morrisons is embarking on a reorganisation of its logistics sector, potentially impacting about 300 jobs. This overhaul affects its seven in-house distribution centres, consolidating leadership into single operation manager positions and reducing certain managerial roles in both its ambient and chilled supply chains, as well as canteen team coordinators.

The supermarket has informed employees that positions such as warehouse managers, team leaders, and HR advisors are under review for redundancy, with decisions based on interviews, conduct, and performance metrics. The consultation process, set to finalise by April 21st, promises alternative job options where feasible, excluding the third-party managed Bellshill site from these changes.

Furthermore, the company plans to abandon the four-day workweek model for the majority of its warehouse and logistics staff. From April 22nd, workers are expected to adopt a five-day schedule, working eight-hour shifts, including Saturdays.

A spokesperson for Morrisons conveyed that this restructuring is part of the company's broader strategy to streamline and expedite operations. By reorganising the logistics teams at seven sites, Morrisons aims to create a leaner, more agile structure that better supports its stores throughout the week.
