Dixons Carphone said it is cutting jobs in order to create a “leaner” management structure in its stores. The retailer will axe several roles including retail manager, assistant manager and team leader and create more customer-facing jobs. The changes will result in an overall reduction of 800 roles, it said.
Mark Allsop, the chief operating officer, said it was trying to better align the shopping experience in its store and online. “We want to … create a flatter management structure and make it easy for our customers to shop with us, however they choose,” he said.
“Sadly, this proposal means we have now entered into consultation with some of our store colleagues.”
