Asda is preparing to consult staff over potential redundancies after reporting a sharp fall in Christmas trading, putting more than 150 management and logistics roles at risk across the business.
The supermarket said sales fell by 4.2 per cent in the 12 weeks to 28 December 2025, making it the only major UK grocer to record a decline during the crucial festive period. The disappointing performance has increased pressure on senior management to reduce costs and overhaul parts of the company's operational structure.
