Lidl staff in 'shock' over possible job losses during Christmas period

Lidl staff have been left in "shock" at news the discount supermarket chain has put more than 100 roles at risk. Some 130 HR staff in regional warehouses across the country are facing the threat of redundancy as the firm centralises their work at its HQ in London, according to the The Grocer.

One worker said they were in "shock" at the news in a post on Linkedin. A spokesman told the Mirror: "As a fast-growing business with strong momentum, we've undertaken a strategic review of our operations to ensure we're built on the right foundations to support our ambitious expansion plans now and in the future. We are proposing to bring some of our Regional HR Departments together into one centralised location at Lidl House. This means some HR roles based at our Regional Distribution Centres may be affected. These proposals are designed to improve the efficiency of our operations, and strengthen our business model."
