Redundancies are set to be made at the Joules headquarters in Market Harborough, under plans to absorb a number of key roles into the head office of joint owner Next.
Neither Next or Joules has said how many jobs are involved but affected workers will be invited to apply for replacement jobs at Next's Enderby headquarters, near Leicester.
Next teamed up with Tom Joule to buy Joules out of administration for £34 million last December. Mr Joule – who launched Joules in 1989 – formed a joint venture with the high street clothes giant to buy the business and its assets, at the time keeping around 100 stores open and protecting almost 1,500 jobs.
